SF1 and Linear Polarizer

I have a Pentax SF1, autofocus film camera. I recently got a linear polarizer

for it.

I've always read that linear polarizers confuse the AF and exposure metering

mechanisms. However, the AF seems to work fine. I don't know about the meter,

yet.

My question is, did I make a big mistake and should I unload the linear

polarizer on ebay and get a circular polarizer instead? Or will the SF1 work

with a linear polarizer?

Thanks,

Paul Noble

You would no doubt have to find a tech person who has been around a while, since the SF-1 is one of the first AF models.

A linear polarizer also seemed to AF and meter fine with my more recent model PZ-1p too, so I brought up the same question to one of the current tech people at Pentax in Colorado. I was told that for just a simple operation like bluing up a sky, it would work fine. But for some other uses, like cutting through reflections, etc. it would not function accurately, while the circular type would.
