<p>Hi Ryan,<br />I am no expert on this but I was interested in getting a polarizer for my 16-35mm until I read Ken Rockwell's comments at his website (see quote below) <a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-use-ultra-wide-lenses.htm">http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-use-ultra-wide-lenses.htm</a>. Does anyone agree with Ken's advice?<br />"Polarizing Filters: Don't do it! <br />The sky changes its polarization as you look from left to right. The sky has its largest amount of polarization, and thus polarizing filters have their greatest effect, at 90 degree angles from the sun.<br />Used on normal and tele lenses, POL filters have more or less effect depending on where you point them.<br />Used on lenses that can see a broad expanses of sky, a POL will render the more polarized areas much darker than the other areas. This causes nasty dark bands in the sky, and is why I never use a polarizer with an ultrawide lens. "</p>
