It is possible to use a linear polariser on a mirrorless body such as the R5.
I thought circular polarisers were required when the mirror of the SLR had a portion that was transmitting as well as reflecting, i.e. to send light to the AF unit or exposure meter.
As there is no mirror in mirrorless, can a linear polariser be used.
My experience, although it is quite at long time since I have used a linear polariser, is that they had a much greater polarising effect, to the point where for landscapes you had back it off from maximum polarisation as it made grass and foliage look too saturated and unnatural. I have never come across this situation with a circular polariser.
