I wonder what a polarizer would do?
Steve

The lens shade does come off and there is room behind it to use a filter . I keep a UV filter on mine and sometime put a polarizer on for bright exterior shots or sky shots. This was one of the improvments that actually came through from the 900. There is a reasonable amount of space between the hood and the lens.

A polarizer is used typically to darken the sky that is around 90 degrees from the sun and to kill the reflections from glass and metalic objects. It can also help when you want to shoot into water to see objects under the surface by reducing surface reflections. It won't help your streaking problem.

It will also tend to saturate colors that are otherwise sort of washed out by reflections.

Every situation is different when you use one.

When Sony comes back with an answer on the 950's please open a new post and we'll take it from there.
