Shouldn't be any difference in light transmission regardless of how a polarizer is rotated. What can vary is the light meter reading when a linear polarizer is used on a camera that requires a circular polarizer (like the Can-not-an-OM-on FTbn).

I *have* one polarizer that is darker than my others, thus reducing light transmission more than the others - but it does so uniformly regardless of rotation.

I was under the impression that it was always a light loss of 1.3 stops to
adjust for the filter. Am I unaware of some changing variable?
