Heliopan Linear Polariser

Tell me more about that linear polarizer - I keep reading everywhere they are useless on DSLRs (metering off, etc.), but I have a couple of these laying around and shoot MF glass on the D600 - sure would like to use my linear polarizers again, since they cover some of the filter thread diameters I don't have a CPL for.

A handheld Nikon D700 + Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AIS manual focus lens! I used the app instageram to alter its original, but still awesome look!

Hey thanks Kevin! Indeed, the colors are great straight out of the cam. The white balance and metering with the D3X handled well using a linear polariser.

I mentioned above that the D3X hamdled well with the linear polariser. Other bodies I've used, I have to normally increase around 2-3 stops to get the midtones right. I own 2 Heliopan linear polarisers and one was the 77mm thread and not sure how the D3X does it but it meters very well even at full polarisation. My advise is to experiment with your linear pols and monitor your blue midtones then adjust if necessary. Cheers!

Thanks,
now I just need some sunshine to compare the polarizers I have in a controlled setup. As long as the light metering is predictable on my D600, there's no reason not to use them.

I think Nikt should change the thread name to: Your Nikon Interesting Shots

, this way we get more photo posts on this thread.

And Joseph, that's a nicely done sunset shot above!
