I understand the principle of cross-polarization, but as we don't know what the inside of an eye will do with light that is reflected... In fact I was hoping that this light would alreadby BE polarized :) Then the polarizer in front of the lens would be sufficient. > Be aware that the effect of a polarizer in > the skin of people can be very unflattering. > It could be that you would enhance subskin > features like veins. Finally, I'll have those X-ray glasses =D Thanks for the tip, I didn't try a polarizer for portraits yet and didn't think it was a great idea before... > You don't have to bounce flash to get rid > of red eye.

I might give it a try one of these days...
