Re: Update. I purchased two polarizers (37mm and 46mm).

I didn't remember this earlier, but now I clearly remember that linear polarizers do polarize more strongly/dramatically than circular polarizers, IME.

It's been a few years since I did outdoor photography with a polarizer. I've been doing mostly indoor photography the last few years.

This thread has jogged my memory regarding polarized outdoor photography that I did in the past.

I never had flare or ghosting from uncoated linear polarizers when I used film. I'm reasonably confident that I won't have any flare or ghosting using a coated linear polarizer on a digital camera because I always use a lens hood.

I do appreciate your post because you provided me some good information to think about and jogged my memory about lens hood and flares.
