Default Re: Polarizer question

Rob, never knew that.
With the "drop-in" aspect, though, it gets complicated. My plan was to eyeball the scene with the polarizer in front of my eye. Then drop it in, hopefully keeping the same position.

I think what I will do is tape numbers around the filter edge, and when the effect looks correct; look up, note the number, and position the filter in the drop in slot with the same # up top.

An early Leica filter, used that principal. Looking by eye first. then putting the filter on the lens. Then revolving the filter to position the correct # back up on top. (The outer rim of the filter was engraved with numbers The fliter was a screw in polarizer with a rotating mount. Leica # 13352 "POOTR".
