Linear Polarazier, a no no?

Hi all!
I think this is my first post ever, I´m from the still-photography world where you do not put linear polarizers in front of autofocus lenses,is it different on video cameras?? My EX-1 is due tomorrow, I have 77mm B+W Kasemann circular polarizer for the Hasselblad lenses, would be great if I could use this for the EX-1 as well...

Magnus,

While you do not need a circular polarizer for virtually all video cameras on the market today, you will be fine using the B+W filter you have on your camera. I have tested them and they fit fine under the hood. Of course it will be more difficult to turn with the hood installed.

I agree with Paul

I use B+W filters and I have been very happy with the quality....even for our Canon SLR's the B+W filters are much better than Canon's best.
