Why can't a polarizer be used with the 40 and 50?
This is not normally someone I'd quote, but I knew I had seen this page before and that it had an example, so I went back to it: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/filters.htm and scroll down to "Avoid polarizers on wide-angle lenses".

The wide views that a 40 or 50 mm lens covers (in medium format) , is in fact a greater swath of the sky than the suns light is polarizable ( I'm sure it should be a word). In other words, the darkening (of the sky) that a polarizer effects is only part of the sky, dark in the middle and lighter towards the sides,it can be very obvious. I know I have a few examples that I'll look for and maybe post. Hope this attempt at an explanation doesn't just muddy the waters !

Ahh.
I kinda knew that. I thought maybe there was another reason.

I knew if I searched long enough I'd find an example of wide angles and polarizers. The sky
definitely didn't go light,dark,light. Peter

ps; I've considered the 135W backs for my ETRS, but they're a bit dear for me. I would like to see some pics from one though.

From my first roll through my new ETRS with the 75mm /2.8. Tri-X @320 souped in Ilfosol-3

For the cost of the 135W back, I plan on just shooting 120 and cropping in the dark room when I want wide crops. I've got the screen with the 135 lines on it, so that makes framing the shot super easy.
I just got a WLF for my ETR-Si. I can't wait to put that and my 50mm on and go for a walk downtown.

This is a 2:1 crop from a 645 negative. Based on a 2400dpi scan, it works out to a 52mmX26mm negative, so it's basically what a 135W back would do.

Thanks Xabier. I'm not sure why it is named Emigrant.

Its called Emigrant Lake after the emigrants to Oregon who were part of the Appelgate party of 1846. There wasn't a lake there, then, but the party traveled through there on the way to the Willamette Valley. My great, great, grandmother was a member of that party, a widow traveling with 5 of her 8 children.
