The advice about polarisers started in the era of AF film cameras, and became the "received wisdom" that passed onto DSLR users.
It seems it may well not be true any more.

Hello John,The advice about polarisers started in the era of AF film cameras, and became the "received wisdom" that passed onto DSLR users.

Other than changing the blue in clouds, and removing the reflections caused by glass and water, how much do you now use a circular polariser?

Peter, personally I use polarisers very rarely. I have both types, but find little need for them.
With wide angle lenses the vignetting they suffer often darkens the sky enough for me. If you remove reflections on water then you change the natural look into something else.
I tend to use polarisers when I want to photograph anything under the surface of water, or sometimes to reduce the glare from green leaves.
Hope that helps!

Chester,

I've used the Cokin Z-pro with a screw-in pol without any problems you just need to have a finger on the pol if you turn the holder.
If you have pol inside the holder then when you turn the holder you need to re-adjust the pol again so it might even be handier to have a pol screw-in pol then a Cokin pol.
It is not crucial to get a circular polarising filter, a linear polarising filter will also work on Pentax DSLRs despite what many people will tell you!
