curious polarizer lens

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2022.02.13

I went to work today, downtown. I attended a risk meeting, I sold the adapters for my Sony camera to one of my colleagues, and I went for a photography wander at lunch. The lens for the new camera has two filters, a neutral-density and a polarizer. I don't know why I have this particular size: 58mm is on the large side and I'm scratching my head as to which past lens I had that would have needed them. But while it fits, it certainly does seem to have limitations: the flare is unbelievably bad, and it seems to blur things.

It's a Kenko, so not exactly expensive, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't replace it.
