Don't forget that you're going to need a circular polarizer for that Canon digital. Paul Tiffen. also 72mm pentax lens cap (was that for my 400 or 300? I forget) Will sell outright or barter for a 58mm polarizer Make me an offer I can't refuse - WOuld love not to have to buy a 58mm

That's not correct: the Canon Pro-1 does not require a circular polarizer. It has no beam splitters or reflecting mirrors in the light path to any sensor. Godfrey On May 20, 2005, at 11:02 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't forget that you're going to need a circular polarizer for that

This is funny -- I never got paul's first post - The 72 polarizer I'm selling, btw is NOT a circular one... I'll take either in the 58 (if, as in a film camera, the circular works on all o 'em.) ann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the correction. That's not correct: the Canon Pro-1

Ann, A circular works on any camera. A linear polarizer can cause problems on cameras that have complex light paths to the AF or exposure meter sensor. Linear polarizers are cheaper and more efficient than circular ones, that's why it's important to know the distinction and when they can

It can cause problems with autofocus and focus confirmation. Pentax autofocus sensors are underneath a semi-silvered portion of the reflex mirror. If you're not relying on either you'll have no problem, otherwise you should use a circular polarizer. Powell Hargrave wrote: A circular works
