how often do you r-d1 shooters use polarizers? do you wish you could do it easier, and when? or is it unnecessary most of the time?

Actually, how do you shoot with a polarizer and a rangefinder?
For the mamiya 7 there is an accessory that moves the filter from the viewfinder to the lens (of course without rotating it), what do you do for the RD-1 (apart from holding the filter with your hand that does not seem extremely practical)?

Hmm, considering it's a Leica accessory I expect it to cost as much as the RD-1 itself

doesn't sound like anybody uses one. how do your shots outdoors in the sun turn out? any problems with blown hilights from glare? light skies? how about color?

Sure... I use one sometimes
Sure... I use one sometimes
I've done this a few ways...
Sometimes I carry one in my pocket, preview it at the right angle and hold it in front of the lens, for snapshots. Or, if I'm doing a setup shot with tripod (rare for me) I will remove then reattach it.
Most of the time in a quick pinch, I just look for good light and if I have a polarizer mounted, I take a few shots at various rotations and take the best one!

I'm not a RD1 owner, so I'll probably be flamed off this forum , but have you considered the B&W "Polarizer Software" ? You can download a trial copy from their website. It didn't really work for me, but maybe somebody else, who is better in driving a computer than I am can get more satisfactory results, as the reviews were quite good.
