        I think 24mm is a bit wide for useful polarizing, too. I have
        found that a deep sky (2a) or something similar can have a
        good "deepening of the blue sky" effect w/o the perilz of
        polarization so common w/ a wide field of view and the resultant
        variations in degree of polarization across the scene.

        Interestingly, skylight filters seem to work best for this "in
        line" w/ the direction of the light whereas polarizers work
        best at a 90deg angle to the light.
