Gary,
1) No exposure compensation is needed as both these cameras meter
through the lens and thus through the polarizer.
2) A circular polarizer can be used on any OM, but is only "needed" on
the models with 1/2 silvered mirrors (2SP, 3, 4). I say "needed" because these
cameras will expose properly with either the circ. or linear polarizer but will
give an incorrect meter value in the viewfinder if used with the linear
polarizer.
3)Neutral density (if you forget and bring the high speed film). That
sand down there is really white.

Subject: [OM] Questions about polarizing filters
In a couple of weeks I'll be vacationing in the Florida Keys. Hopefully
there'll be plenty of sunshine and blue/green water. It occurred to me
that I might want to take polarizing filters. I've never really used these
filters and want to know:
1: How much, if any, exposure compensation do I have to make using an
OM1-N and OM2 with 100 speed color print film?
2: When would I want to use a circular rotating PL filter as opposed to a
fixed one?
3: Any and all filter suggestions welcomed.
By the way, do any list members live in Key West or any of the other Keys?
Thanks,
Gary
