Polarizers
I have a Canon AE-1 Program with three lenses: 50mm, 28-85 and 75-300. I'm looking to buying a Polarizing Filter for the 75-300. For the AE-1 Program, do I need to buy a Circular Polarizer or will just a Linear polarizer suffice? Would appreciate advice on this.

As I understand it, Circular polarizers are intended for autofocus cameras. A Linear polarizer will confuse the autofocus sensors. You may use a Circular polarizer on both manual-focus and autofocus lenses, but a Linear polarizer should be used only on a manual focus lens. I'll defer to someone else to explain the physics of this. ;-)
