I would like to report, but this is not entirely accurate.  The SSA 
Gamma folio member is Allan Roe (husband of Alpha Secretary Naoma
Roe - both active in the stereo club in Utah with Ken Luker, etc.)
Allan uses a Pentax but also a Realist (so the statement that he
ONLY submitted cha-cha shots from his Pentax, is not correct).

Furthermore, that particular picture with the polarizers WAS TAKEN
WITH A REALIST!  I remember he mentioned that he just held a pair
of polarizing filters in front of the Realist (both Roe's use a
tripod).

So, it can be done, and it can be very inexpensive.

George Themelis (now SSA-Gamma Secretary)
