And dark red. But shooting chromegic film xp2 I got no washed out skies with naked glass. And when I shot chromegic full color film then I can filter later till the cows come home. But I do find myself wanting to be equipped with a polarizer for each lens I have. And use them when I shoot digital captures half the time. I forget they're on and end up using them indoors. But as I tend to shoot between ASA 800 and 1600 that would be which I don't notice so much. And AutoFocus makes a darker groundglass less of an issue. Sure cuts through glare on dirty furniture!
