Use of a Circular Polarized Filter. I have a silly question. I know a circular polarized filter is used for outdoor photographs to remove glare from reflections. Can one use it for indoor photographs? Is there any harm that one can keep it put on to the camera lens as permanant protection without affecting the photographs that are taken with it.

The main drawbacks I see in this is that longer exposure times will be required. And every time you rotate your camera from horizontal to vertical format, you'll have to re-evaluate your shutter speed/aperture combinations. Bottom line is ... I'd leave it off unless it is prerequisite to a particular effect you're trying to achieve.

Also, the view in your viewfinder is much darker.

If you want protection for your lens, go with a UV filter. When I bought my camera, the dealer recommended this to protect my lens. I have one on each of my lenses and never take them off. Have replaced one. But now if I bump the lens and get a scratch on it, I replace the $14 UV filter, not the lens :-) As for the rest of the question, I've never tried my polarizing lens inside, but am thinking both the above responses would apply, and again, as far as protection goes ... UV filters and much cheaper if you need to replace. Also, when you DO want to use the polarizing filter, put it right over the UV. As long as you don't stack too many filters on, it'll work just fine; you may have to adjust shutter speed.

Take it off, you will loose two or more stops by having it on for one thing. In fact anytime you do not see it doing anything take it off. The only exception is if you are inside shooting out through a window IE like a bus or train car whatever.
