I haven't bothered to use polarizing filters in recent times as you can achieve almost the same results with RAW file processing. Reflections on water and shiny objects like wet leaves are an exception. I do, however, usually carry one and check if it makes a difference or not.
A very high sun means that the area of maximum polarization will be along the horizon which is perfect on days with distant clouds. Like yesterday at midday.
I walked around the Saratoga Battlefield with the EOS R8 and an RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM lens I had just picked up at Best Buy. This is the fourth copy of the lens I've owned.
All three of my lenses cover the 35mm focal length but they vary is size and weight and this small prime lens extends for .5X closeups and lets in more than two stops more light than my two zoom lenses. And as this lens was only slightly on sale and not half price like the last refurbished copy I bought, I'll not be as tempted to part with it.
