I've noticed that on the Lee site and many who sell the Lee square circular polariser that they recommend the polariser goes in front of resin/polyester filters to ensure it functions correctly. Does it really make that much difference? I read this thread and noticed folks using it in the first slot with slight mods on the filter holder to stop it falling out. Your opinions are appreciated :)

...I thought the instructions had said behind the resin filters...:| <shrug> Anyway, I always put it in either the first or second slot (depending on whether I'm using the Big Stopper or not, and haven't had any problems.

Some stuff from a site selling the polariser

These high quality glass filters manage the waveforms of light travelling to the camera from most reflective surfaces. Glare and reflected light can be altered by rotation of the polarising filter. The effect can be seen through the lens of reflex cameras as the filter is rotated. When used outside on sunny days, polarising filters have the effect of saturating colours and deepening blue skies. They can also be used in conjunction with other filters (although the polariser should always be placed in front of polyester filters to ensure it functions correctly).

Then I read this on the Lee website

Combining with polyester filters

If using a polarising filter in conjunction with polyester filters, the polariser must be placed in front of the polyester filters, not behind, otherwise it will not function correctly. This problem does not arise when the polarising filter is used in conjunction with resin filters

Thanks for the reply :s

Facepalm moment :o
