Akshally, Kay, my question was not properly phrased. I have used the polarizing filter for years, particularly when I wanted to shoot a landscape picture with handsome clouds. My question should have been: Lee Ann, were you recommending that I try the UV filter or the polarizing filter? It sounds strange, but we have neither a Walmart nor a K-mart in this area. I could order special film from a custom lab -- he did get me some special Kodak film, awhile back. Shall have a talk with him. Thanks!
