Post Bronica Photos... Any format. I just want to see Bronica photos

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 !

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".

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.
 
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.
 
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.
