More to the point, to me... why bother with a very expensive C-PL? Am I
wrong in assuming that a linear polarizer works fine on all OM bodies for
actually taking the picture? It's only metering that's skewed on OM-4(T, Ti)
and others with half-silvered mirrors, but once the mirror is up, then TTL
can take over and expose the photograph correctly?

Considering the horrific cost of circular polarizers, it seems like the most
expensive possible way to get neutral density.  (I bought my 55mm CPL in a
shop instead of mail order and it was $40 USD.  Ouch!  Worst of all, I've
opened it.)
