jim_muder Posted February 10, 1999 Share Posted February 10, 1999 Should I purchase a circular or a linear polarized filter for my FD Lenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justrightphotos Posted February 10, 1999 Share Posted February 10, 1999 Jim, <p> Buying the correct pol. filter depends on the camera's metering system, not the lens. If you have an older camera you may be able to get by with a linear filter. If you are using the F-1N or the T-90, and perhaps others, you will need a circular filter in order for your meter to word properly. <p> Good luck and happy shooting! <p> P.Kelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sharbaugh1 Posted February 21, 1999 Share Posted February 21, 1999 Correct PL filter depends on type of meter, not age of camera, per se. Linear PL may fool any meter using a beam splitter--this includes both F1 and FTb. A, AE1, etc. work fine w/linear. I,m not sure about T Series as I've never used one (also because the Canon filter liturature from which I just copped this answer predates the T series cameras).
