Re: I used polarizers a lot in film days. No more

In 2005 after a trip to Turkey, where i used a polarizer quite a bit, I saw the results and decided that with digital my needs had changed.

I only use them now to control reflections, mostly in my work shooting museum collections and exhibitions---still need them for that. For skies? Not at all.

This is exactly my finding. While I used it on my film cameras almost permanently, the digital files can be so flexibly post-processed, that I don't find any reason for the polarizer. Except to control reflections.
