Interesting. Could you say more about that, BryantP? For my landscape use, I often can't use a polarizer, because different arcs of the blue sky get too dark (or too light). I seldom shoot much architecture.

precisely, when shooting UWA, using a polarizer to darken the sky won't produce even results. Unfortunately.

b&w film i used a yellow/orange/red filter.

With color, bracketing and photoshopping could arguably be the best solution.

I have a polarizer for my 20mm f/4 prime. depending on the situation, it is still OK.

The polarizer works well on the 24-70, though my 82mm pol is old and thick and will vignette if i don't stop down significantly.
