I just picked up a 600mm for birding and went ahead and bought the 52mm circular polarizing filter as it was one of the highly recommended accessories.
I was wondering what percentage of the nature and wildlife photographers here use a drop-in polarizing filter, and what might be some of the advantages or disadvantages of its use beyond the obvious or what’s stated in the literature?

think the same line of reasoning will apply for the 400/500/600 superteles.

Thank you Will! I have spent the last 6 months shooting my grandsons first
football season. The games start at 1:00. I will order a polarizing filter right now. BP
