This is the best way to go. Keep in mind that a polarizer is sometimes more
trouble than it's worth for landscapes with really wide lenses because the
field of view is often so great that the polarizer's effect is drastically
different on the left side of the frame and the right (and it's much less
apparent through the viewfinder than it is in the final result). I've spoiled
a few shots with polarizers this way :(

Looking for filters on eBay can be frustrating because there are so many
jerks selling new ones there with minimum bids that are too expensive. For
good deals on new filters have a look at the filter connection at www.2filter.com
(great prices, good service and knowledgable people).
