Metering is through the lens, hence through the filter. No manual
compensation should be necessary.

Subject: circular polarizer question
> Hi,

(28A)

and

a

polarizer

using

> stops vs. when the polarizer was off. I used the same scene to judge
this.
> Later, I also did this with various sites at the show and did the same
> thing. Now I hope that I did not over exposure when I took a lot of

have
