Polariser Filter

[P-E]

Was in discussion at work today with a customer who shoots film and says he permanetly has a polariser filter attached.........is this
recommended .....not only with film but was thinking of digital.

Well the only real drawback would be that it makes his lens 1 stop(ish) slower, that might not be a problem unless there's not a lot of light to shoot in.

Never got around to trying one.......Hoya a good one to try?

 

[Steep]

Yup

Cheers Steep..........just seen a 77mm for £34.99.

Think I must have a strong polariser. It knocks more like two stops off my exposure, I think.

Take the whole shots out of mine and overlays some rubbish instead

Is it a Jessops one ? think you will find its more liek 3 stops !

 

[fingerz]

Yeah, it is actually

Stop-harvesting buggers. But then again I do like polarisation. I'm guessing I wouldn't get as good an effect with a weaker one?

I did wonder about this - I have a couple of Jessops polarisers and I must admit they darken the image quite considerably - much more than I anticipated.

I've got a Hoya HMC on for my D70 - cost be £39.99 on a 67mm thread, it's great!

Was going to get the Hoya but now considering Nikon........expensive but regarded as superior compared to Hoya.
