Hi David,

I use circular polariser filters on both of my lenses. It helps to bring out the blue of the sky, the greens in the grass/trees, and reduces reflections (eg. on aircraft fuselage or water). You can vary the amount by which it does this by twisting the filter.

Here’s an article which showing the effect of polarisers :

You will note that you cannot use it if taking photos through aircraft windows. Other than this situation, I keep them on my lenses all the time.

It’s really down to your personal preference.
