Lens Hood Filter
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
Is it practical to use a lens hood and a polarizing filter at the same time?
I know I'd be unable to rotate the filter, but would that have any significant consequences in my pictures?
Yes it is practical and it is not redundant as they are both designed to achieve very different effects.
A lens hood prevents extraneous light from striking the lens and causing lens flare. A polarizer filters out non-polarized light to achieve specific effects. (Darker skies, less reflections in glass, being able to see deeper into water, and more saturated colors.)
You can read more about polarizers here:

I use both a polarizer and lens hood often. The only bump in the road may be if you have a circular polarizer lens hood that don't work well together. Occasionally with a non-thread mount lens hood (one that comes with the lens) there is no room for your fingers to rotate the polarizer while the hood is mounted. The solution is to dial the polarizer to the desired amount BEFORE you mount the lens hood. Voila!
