olin_garren Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I have an old SR T MC-II with a polar filter that I want to use at the Grand Canyon. I've been told that I need to step down even with the filter attached. But how far down do I need to go to avoid over exposure? I appreciate any help.

christian deichert Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Step down or stop down? If you're talking exposure, it's the latter; if you're talking about matching different filter ring sizes together, it's the former. What film are you shooting? If you're doing slides, it never hurts to bracket +/- 1/2 stop or so. If you're shooting print film, I wouldn't bother bracketing. In either case, make sure you don't over-polarize -- it's way too easy to get overly polarized skies in the high desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
