I ALWAYS use a polarizer for all my landscape photos. Is there a way to install a polarizer with this lens?

1 yes buy a different lens. 2 make your adjustments in photoshop 3 stop down

There are products out there, but as you might imagine, you won't be using a typical threaded polarizer. You wind up using something like a cinema lens hood with a giant filter slipped in. Here's one solution that comes to mind: http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera/system#tse-adaptorPhenomenal lens, especially for landscapes. Almost surely worth the extra workaround

There is an adapter, LEE Filters Adapter Ring for Canon 17mm TS-E Lens, that B&H; carries. I haven't used it, but it most likely obstructs some of the image. BTW, I've been using this lens for landscape work recently and am quite impressed with it.

It doesn't come with a filter (lens).It's basically a frame to hold a 55mm lens of your choice.Some people use nd (neutral density) filters. I use a circular polarizer.What do you need it for?It's your choice

I have used a lens pen on polarizer for years with no apparent issues. I use a very very light touch and use the tip end only on smug and not dust.

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

As long as it stays on the lens and doesn't drop off you are probably OK. A polarizing filter needs to turn, that's how you adjust it to the maximum effect.

Skip the UV filter entirely and just keep the polarizer on the lens. UV filters are useless, while polarizers are the most useful filter you will ever have... both outdoors and indoors. Depending upon which polarizer you purchase, they will not subtract much if any more light than a UV filter, (the Hoya HD filters are the best, but expensive). I would never shoot anything without a polarizer.

Answer ... don't know but you should be able to do so because the film isn't polarized. It is clear. Polarizing film filters to one orthogonal component of light (think vertical or horizontal). Since the first application didn't work, I fished it out of the trash and checked against my lights. No polarization. Therefore, both components of light will get through the film and your polaroid lenses should work.

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

(Please note: I'm not a PowerShot S10 user.) The adapter-ring is for being able to fit the entire attachment (holder, with the filter or filters inserted) on a particular lens (diameter). I'm guessing your question is "Do I still need the Cokin holder?". If the filters you're going to use are not screw-on filters (that screw directly on to the adapted lens), but are the rectangular ones, then you do need the filter-holder. The alternative is to hold the filter in your fingers in front of the lens (in which case you don't need the holder or adapter-ring) and make sure the fingers don't get in your frame. If the filter you're going to use is a circular polarizer, then I'd say the filter-holder is a must. (A circ. polarizer fits tightly in the innermost slot of the holder, and you rotate the holder to adjust the filter's position for the angle of light, to get the polarization you want.) It's possible to hand-hold other filters, such as an ND filter, in front of the lens.

I think as long as the thread is 77mn it should work, I use it with a cannon 24-105 and it has become my favorite filter, but I cannot assure you it will work the same with your lens, I have a bunch of lee filters but none of them has the same strength in stopping light as the B&W;, the camera reading of how to set the shutter speed is always wrong but I have learnt that I have to shoot at a much longer exposure than what the camera is telling me, keep that in mind if you decide to try it. I absolutely love it! BTW what negative effect do you get with the polarizer?

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

Yes! Polarizers are used with ND all the time. Sometimes even to add additional density, and sometimes for the actual polarization. Vignetting is always a concern, but reasonably correctable in post processing.

There are filter adapters now on Ebay, just a simple 38mm to 52mm or 55 mm for about $14. I got one and attached a 52mm UV protective filter, and bought a replacement 52mm Nikon "real" lens cap. I also got a 52mm polarizer, so i'm all set for now. The threads won't hold any accessory lenses, but they are solid enough for a protective filter.Jason

No built in polarizing filter. You would have to take off the lens cover and even then I don't think there is a filter made to fit. Might be able to add the converter extension and put a filter on it but I haven't researched that enough to know for sure.

Art filters are special effects applied by the camera in software. A circular polarizer would be a hardware filter, which could be screwed in once the lens cover is remove. But the lens barrel is not marked with a filter diameter.

This lens takes a 52mm filter. Amazon sells kits that include polarizing filters, and a quick Google search for 52mm polarizing filters turns up a bunch of other options, in a variety of price ranges.

Not really, although I have a tiffen 62mm uv filter primarily to protect the lens against dirt and mist. I have been happy with image quality and lens versatility. I also have used a tiffen 62mm circular polarizer, but it has rarely been necessary. The lens hood works well to reduce glare and "ghosting". Hope this helps.
