I bought a Schneider polarizer filter, screw on type, and was wondering if it is ok to just leave it on permantly or just put it on when I need it? Your thoughts?
 
Thanks for the info, I am a little new to filters and what not. Really appreciate the help.
 
ReneH, saw in another post you bought your dvx and matte box and everything else recently...
just curious which matte box you bought?

ReneH, the Pola is only going to work when the sun is out, since it cuts refections and deepens a blue sky. Even if it is overcast, it does nothing except act as a N.D., since it cuts down the light 1 2/3 stops. A UV filter (cuts out ultraviolet light) is a better choice as a lens protector. Find one that is "multi coated", like our B + W UV 010 MC. But you take the filter off if you use a wide angle or telephoto adapter.

And Tiffen makes the ProMist, we make a similar, but more refined, Black Frost.

P.S. by refined I mean our black particles are smaller and more uniform, giving the filter a different look than a ProMist. It is our most popular filter for DV.
 
Thanks!
