I have the earlier A42 (any E39 lens and the non-Asph Summilux) swing out polarizing filter and the "indexed" Heliopans in E46, E55 and E60. However, many slide films today are so saturated that a polarizing filter is overkill. I only carry them when visiting the tropics or if I am worried about reflections which basically translates into maybe once every two to three years.
