Jeff S Posted January 1, 2012 Share #21 Posted January 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) As with most discussions here, the path seems more circular than linear (and often polarizing). Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 2, 2012 Share #22 Posted January 2, 2012 It seems the argument is a bit simplistic. Light will be polarized by reflecting off non-metallic surfaces - but the degree is dependent on the material and on the incidence angle (Brewster angle) So it is not very productive to argue the theory without the data. The point for us photographers is: does it have an impact on our photographs, even if theory, or even an experimental setup prove an effect? I have not noticed any using linear polarizers on M8 and M9. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted January 2, 2012 Share #23 Posted January 2, 2012 I have been using a B+W 77mm slim MRC circular polarizer for many years on my M8s...The filter is mounted on either a 46mm to 77mm step up or a 55mm to 77mm step up brass ring made by SK Grimes here in the USA. The polar is wide enough to be seen in the viewfinder and the system works beautifully. S K Griems has my specs so just use my name for reference.

jaapv Posted January 2, 2012 Share #24 Posted January 2, 2012 Well, yes. I use a 5$ Heavystar stepup with nicely dremeled slits, for a 77 mm polarizer on 55 mm lenses, as the Leica swingout has no adapter for that size. I do not see much sense in paying more for such an easy piece of DIY. It took me all of ten minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
