I just picked up a polarizer for my 50mm 1.8 AF lens (though I have to use it on manual, as I've got a D40). Does anyone have some good advice on how to best use and take advantage of it?
Great explanation (and with photos!).
Circular polarizers are great unless you have a wide-angle lens. They don't work well on my 12-24 mm Tokina, and leave uneven blue skies that appear like thick blue and light blue stripes in the sky. Ugly. I had some awesome photo ruined by those stripes. If I edit the sky, then it looks beautiful.
