@Dombowerphoto

actually he was flip over that filter ..so that's why just see that blue and yellow through the cpl filter...

anyone can try yourself....

Got polarized sunglasses, and I will never go back on them. Awesome flare reduction. Need one of these on my camera, shame they are rather expensive down here =|

[Brandonmaieli]

would it be good for reducing flare from a flash

Magic, magic! haha... thanks so much for the heads-up and demonstration, Dom - really appreciate it! Can't believe I've not yet worked with these things, getting me a YouTube education and ready to give them a go now ;D

In the middle of the video I was about to suggest you the exact same video from Sixty Simbols.

Good video... I'm just wondering if the quality/type/features of any screen (flat panel display) affect the polarization effect or if there is some type of feature that prevents it to work like so. Have you tried the trick in other screens? (I bet pixel density and pixel orientation plays an important role)

Anyone else think his voice and looks remind you of Dara O Briain?

At first I apologize for my poor english.

Hello....I think that this test is not reliable. I have a Tiffen CPL. My tiffen filter do the same as Sunpak on video BUT JUST WHEN YOU LOOK THRU IT REVERSE (screw is on side od LCD panel) !!!! In good direction (screw is on side of your eye) it works perfectly and make LDC screen totaly black. Try it by yourself.
