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!

Penny
