     Joe,
     
        I've used one of these for nearly 11 years.  They are great 
     polarizers.  Used ones are hard to come by.  So if you can find one, 
     snatch it up.

Anyone had any experience with the Leitz polariser for M cameras that 
swings across in front of the viewfinder for setting, then back over the 
lens for exposure?
     
It's a crazy-looking device but must be the easiest way to use a 
polariser on the M. Only fits 39mm threads (so unfortunately won't fit 
my 28mm) but could be used on 35 and 50. Maybe also on 90mm Tele- 
Elmarit?
     
I've seen one advertised for UKP 120, which is a lot for a small 
polariser, but it would only have to be bought once.
     
And if, as I suspect, it's unusual to see a used one, that price would 
have to be weighed against the price of a new one.
     
Any reactions?
