I have a Hoya Pro1D Circular polarising filter and just had a few questions:
- Does anyone know roughly how many stops (similar to a ND filter) of light it affects?
- In general, do people set EV compensation when using a polarising filter?
- What is the best metering method- spot, circle or matrix do people tend to use with the PL filter?
Any tips on the best use for the filter would be appreciated, as well as in-camera settings. I have it attached to a 55-200mm VR kit lens at the moment, which is a bit slow (especially with the PL filter attached).
Is it generally best to remove the filter if I use it for portrait/flowers? Or leave it on if I am outdoors?
An example of a photo I shot with the filter and the lens:
