I'm using a Canon f/2.8 300 IS USM II with a 1DX to shoot water sports and optimizing shots by reducing glare on backlit subjects, over bright water, with bright blue sky, "could be ideal".
Has anyone out there had experience with the Canon 52mm drop in CPL on the 300?
I'd like to see some shots or get your opinion on the exp.
And... has anyone noticed enhanced issues with shadows, banding or noise in PP with PS or LR with the CPL.
Thank you,

Has anyone shot water sports using the canon 52mm drop in CPL with a 300 or 400mm lens?
Can you tell me your feelings?
Can you post a few shots?
I thinking of using on to shoot kitesurfing.
Thank you,

Hi TV
I own the 300 f/2.8 L IS USM II but I don't own the 52 mm CPL - the only thing that come to my mind is that it consumes roughly 2 stops of light - sometimes that can be critical.
Other that that i really love the lens and the sharpness - a polarizing filter will probably lower the possible quality a bit - but not by much - since the 52 CPL is compare to the lens really cheap just buy it - what wait? Your 1Dx plus the 300 f/2.8 L IS USM II cost roughly 60x the polarizing filter
And the 2nd use of the filter could be as an ND filter als well - that's the reason why I am intending to buy one in the next couple of months.
