The Polarizer Article
Posted: April 26, 2010 - 11:36am

I have been told that Modern Photography Magazine published a article in July, 1985 that really explains Polarizer Filters and their use. Is anyone familiar with it, or can tell me where I can download a copy??
Thanks for any help

That is a bit long ago, but you might try doing a Google search, I am sure you'll find at least something just as good, it is no secret. It just gets a little complicated as polarizing filters have some side effects with modern cameras, you have to use one that is OK for the camera you are using.

1985 is still a long time ago and well before dSLR's, so not being a polarizing filter user, I would think something more up to date is needed to be sure a polarizer works without ill-effects with digital. I would think what is pertinent to digital today would be important.
