This shows the Leica Swing-out Polarizer designed for Leica M cameras. Note that this is a linear polarizer.

I thought with the leica one, you can switch between the viewfinder and the lens, which gives precisely the effect desired but how to achieve the same thing using a linear which cost a lot less? - -------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Mehrdad Sadat - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Mark Rabiner Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2000 2:58 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] M Polarizer Robinsnes@aol.com wrote: > > Hi Mark: > Have a fun time.
