No. LL doesn't make me ill anymore. In fact, it's rather interesting
that they've come full-circle and have actually gotten pretty
reasonable in recent years. Ten years ago, M.R. and gang were making
some pretty fantastic wild-a** claims about digital, pixel counts,
technology, etc. Since then, they've had to walk back a lot of those
claims. They still go off the deep end, at times, but mostly have
settled into a reasonable level of nonsense.
To the subject of polarizers, I've noticed two things which have me puzzled:
1. Linear polarizers seem to be more effective than circular polarizers,
2. Polarizers don't seem to work as well (deeply) on digital as it does on film.
