It's a lens with a drop in filter thing in the middle of the lens. Never seen one before. Anyone know about that?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Because you'll have to turn the filter while looking through the camera, it will be MUCH easier to do it while it's mounted on the outside of the lens than taking the internal filter out, adjusting it and putting it back in to see if you're closer to the desired effect. You can also then put stepping rings on it and use it with your smaller diameter lenses as well. You won't tie yourself down to only having a 39mm polarizer...you'll have a polarizer that will work on almost any lens you have, provided you get the stepping ring for it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

In other words, with the Nikon filter you don't have to remove it to rotate it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
