I used to used a PL as much to saturate colors as deepen blue sky. I find
with digital a PL is so effective that there is not enough specular
highlight detail to allow the result to look natural to my eyes. I think
maybe Moose should try it. It might be his "dream look" in certain
situations but it ain't my cup of tea.
In general, if I use a PL with digital, I don't go for maximum
polarization, just part way.
I still have a "Moose" polarizer (nothing to do with our noble Moose) --
basically a PL with warming filter in it. I loved that with Fuji slide
films. I don't have the right sizes for my E-system lenses, so I've never
tried it with them. I could experiment with my Zuikos on the Canon body.
As if I don't have enough fooling around to do with that already, haha!
