You can even use one beneficially on a 21, however, if you frame the shot to avoid a broad expanse of open sky, since the polarizer affects the capture of reflected as well as refracted light.///Dick Baznik ________ At 10:23 AM 4/22/99 -0500, you wrote: >Allan wrote: > >> By the way...do NOT use polarizers with wide angle lenses.
