I am looking to add some additional depth to the sky area in my black and white landscapes. I have used a 29A red filter and this does give the results of a darker sky rather well. A few years back I tried to use a Polarizer to see if there was a noticable difference. While the sky area was much darker and had the effect that I wanted with the Polarizer, I did get a significant amount of vignetting around the edges of the negative. This was with a 14" Kodak Ektar lens mounted on an 8x10. I did not think that I should see any vignetting when using a standard lens in this situation. I wish to use a Polarizer again with a 10" lens mounted on a 5x7. Is there any problem with this or by using a Polarizer am I bound to get vignetting? Am I just missing something?
