I was out shooting yesterday, and my polarizing filter
fell off the front of the lens and onto the path.
Fortunately the glass didn't break, but it did pop out
of the filter holder, leaving me with three pieces to
reassemble - holder, glass and retaining clip.
My problem is - which side of the filter should be to
the front? There are no distinguishing marks, but I
believe that (as it's a circular polarizer) the way
it goes in is important.
So - how do I find out which is the right way round?
John,
Place the filter up to your eye, and look at yourself in a mirror.
If the camera-side is nearest you, you will be able to see the
reflection of your eye.
If the camera-side is away from you, your eye will appear black.
Hope this helps!
