     I almost never venture outside with my camera without
a polarizing filter on my lens(es).  It is the only way to 
obtain spectacular sky effects such a bright clouds against
a blue-black sky.  The polarizer also adds surface detail by
eliminating specular reflected light.  The only warning about
using a polarizing filter is REMEMBER TO TAKE OFF YOUR 
POLAROID SUNGLASSES before adjusting the filter for maximum
effect.  Fortunately I learned this before putting the
filter on my camera because the crossed polarizers practically
passed no light.
