Is anyone out there succesfully using polarizer filters with their wide angle le nses in landscape scenes with near-cloudless skies?
Boy, I just "experimented" with shooting 4x5 tranparencies with a 90mm lens usin g a polarizer for the first time. Despite efforts to insure an evenly polarized sky in the ground glass, the sky came out uneven in all of the processed shots. (and yes, as a double whammy, the old mechnical vignetting from stacking the pol arizer and a warm - up filter, and the on top of that, using shift - I was reall y asking for it!). Anyway, in some cases, the shift in tonality seemed unnatura lly abrupt across the sky.
In general then, what are the techniques and conditions under which one can use polarizers on 90mm or 72mm large format lenses for example? Is it even possible to get an evenly polarzed sky across the large 4x5 sheet? Thanks for your input . Andre
