Polariser & Warm up filters

[trevor_smithers]

I have a 77mm Heliopan circular polariser for a Pentax 67 50-100mm

lens. I would also like to use my Lee filters, 81A,B etc with the pol

but this isn't possible with the usual Lee ring holders without

vignetting.

 

Using a Lee 100mm close fit holder it's just possible to clip the

holder on the front of the polariser and place an 81A in the first

slot....I've just done a test to see if can get away with the

vignetting (polariser on it's own is OK) using this combination but

it will be a couple of days before I get the film back.

 

However I seem to remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't place

a filter "in front" of a polariser...is this true.

 

Any advice appreciated.

I've never heard that. In fact, I've done it many times myself with no evil effects.

 

You know, someone (Tiffen?) does make "warm polarizers."

Warm polarizers are available from Heliopan.

Tiffen makes them too, as does B+W; I believe Hoya just joined the fray with the "Moose" filter, a la Moose Peterson, since he pled with them to design one. Of all of these brand names, Tiffen is the lowest priced.

Well, its good to know that filters in front of a polariser don't cause problems.

 

Im aware that I could get a combination filter but having recently purchased a rather expensive Heliopan circular polariser (#150) I did'nt really want to go and get another one, especially as I already have some Lee filters.
