I would like to "hear" your opinions about the use of the Circular Polarizer filter in our hobby. Shell we use it or not? And what condictions you will using it?
I personally see no valid reason to have one , ive never seen the need for using one , unless its just an added protection for the glass then just get a clear filter .
I use one sometimes, on very sunny/bright days (so not too often here in the UK ). Also good for those close shots, where you want to see through windows.
I have a circular polariser for my 17-40 and my 17-40 only, because of its use for landscapes. A circ Polariser restricts what light can enter your camera, cutting down on glare from water, removing haze from the sky and such, the result, a darker blue sky, more luscious greens, more intense reds, all colours with better saturation, less glare from wet surfaces.

I prefer to use spot metering rather than a polarizer. The polarizer does take aware glare but the reduction in shutter speed is not worth it. At least spot metering helps control the highlights effectively.

I didnt think anyone tried it change your metering and exposure, it was about controlling the colours.

I use it very often under bended canopys of small aircrafts e.g. when overflying an airport or a city (see forum banner ). It is also cool for static displays and for action on small grass airfields.
But I recognized a reduced resolution when examining pics @ 100%.
I got many nice shots and I'm glad to have spent the money. Someone spending 3000$ for his equipment and saving another 100$ for some accessorys can't be taken seriously...
