UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

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.
