Re: Polarization filter
Polarization filters blocks light at 90 degrees to the filter. They block light from above (direct sunlight) and from below (directly reflected light from ground or water), but do not block light from the sides. Glare can distort images. Polarization can make some images clearer, and some colors more vivid or less "washed out" by sunlight. For scopes there is also the advantage of flashkill.

Re: Polarization filter
I have always wondered why filters in general arent more popular. I have them on all my camera lenses and notice no compromise in the IQ.
My biggest thing is that it would protect the objective lens from scratches, etc. Would reduce the need for flip caps as well.

Re: Polarization filter
Other applications for polarization include photography. For example when taking different pictures, one may want to emphasize reflected light such as making oceans waves glitter and stand out. In another example, one may want to minimize reflected light, such as taking a picture of fish in the water.
Polarization also helps in eye fatigue that occurs with bright lighting conditions.

Re: Polarization filter
A quick note on the polarizer, there are 2 basic deigns, one that fits on the objective and one on the eye piece. If you mount the one ofeered on the objective it can and will throw your POA/POI off but the one mounted on the eye piece is preffered because there are no adverse effects. You POA/POI stays true and your DOPE remains true
