Parade Lens, Planning on taking 70-200 with a polarizer. Do I use my lens hood? Or lens hood no polarizer? Will be using 5dc sun and shadows on the street at 10am.
Thanks for the information.

CPL and hood. I normally use my 24-70 though. Guess it depends on where you’re standing.

If I had a 24-70 thats what I think I would use. My Sigma is so slow, and Tamron won't work on my FF. Guess i'll take my 50mm as well. The 70-200 the best glass I have. Thanks

Parade pictures with a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Hood used, no polarizer.

The lens seems to have worked well at these parades without a polarizing filter.

Thanks for the information.

ALWAYS ALWAYS use a lens hood. I don't believe a polarizer would be needed for a parade.

Polarizer can help kill blown out highlights on musical instruments, vehicles and other glitter, make the colors richer too, but you will need to be constantly aware of the angle to the sun to adjust to for your shooting direction, as well as keeping your shutter speed up because of the two stop or so light reduced by the filter.

The problem with CPL and hood on these lenses is that it's impossible to adjust it during shooting if you switch orientation a lot. I usually only use the hood.


6D + enough lenses for now.
