After many photos taken at airshows using my Tamron 70-300 with a circular polarizer, I've always wondered why my pic never really came out all that crisp.
The other day(more like a month ago), I was outside playing around with the lens and polarizer only to realize that I may have been setting it incorrectly. The other issue may be due to not have a 100% clean lens/filter (at least from the airshow back in June). I never realized that the whole lens barrel rotates on focusing there for causing the polarizer to rotate. I would set the polarizer looking at something fairly close (within 70mm). Most of my shots were between 200-300mm which I guess may have an effect on the focusing.
Are there any techniques to help out this problem? The other thought is to upgrade to a different 70-300mm lens.
Thanks.
