For instance, while the polarizer has a neutral density of about a stop, it affects polarized light far more than one stop. If the sky is what you are darkening with the polarizer, you need to know it's value through the polarizer in the position it will be in when the image is made. In order to really know the effect the polarizer is having with this type of camera, you must have a circular polarizer. Peter Jon White
