Re: Polarizing Filter
1

I ordered a Hoya 37mm HD circular polarizer. Its one of the coated ones, therefore a little more expensive. I always buy coated filters to reduce reflections.

I'll add for anyone interested in using a polarizer with an electronic viewfinder or rear display that the auto brightness adjustment of the display conceals the effect of the polarizer to some extent.  The Hoya polarizers (perhaps others) have a little arrow or triangle on the rim.  Orient this arrow towards the sun for maximum polarizing effect.  And realize that the polarizer won't do much if the sun is directly overhead.  It has the most effect mid-morning and mid afternoon when the sun is directed toward your side.
