justinweiss Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 <p>Is there a good way to use circular polarizers with lenses that take filters in a drop-in slot? Unless I'm missing something, it looks like there would be no way to turn the filter to make adjustments while looking through the lens. So what are you supposed to do with lenses like this if you want the benefits of a polarizing filter?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_momary Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 <p>As to linear vs circular, they both require rotation to set the level of desired effect.<br> Perhaps a front mounted filter provides the access to rotate?<br> Jim</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Oceans Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 <p>Justin, take a close look at these drop in polarizers and you will see the knurled wheels you turn to rotate the polarisers.
