Funky, but it beats owning two 50mm Summicrons. For my taste the Swing out polarizer is one of the best reasons to keep my 90mm T-E. I carry a 28 Rokkor, 35 and 50 Summicrons and a 90mm T-E. The polarizer's hood has to be taken off for the 28mm, and it's a tricky fit, but the polarizer can be used on all four lenses.
