Your problem is you are taking a reading through the filter, and then adding compensation for the filter, thus overexposing. No compensation is necessary. That's why you photos are so washed out.

Actually, with the AE-1, both types of polarizers work fine.That,'s right the AE -1 requires a linear polarizer, not a circular one.
Only the Canon T 90, F1n, and F 1-N, because they have beam spitters need to use circular polarizers.Actually, with the AE-1, both types of polarizers work fine.
I'm old enough to remember when circular polarizers were relatively hard to find, and more expensive.
Should that not be: put on the polariser filter, rotate to the effect you want, take the light reading, and then the photograph?I agree. Take the light reading, put on the polarizer filter, rotate to the effect you want, and then photograph.
All the Canon F1 focusing screens have a beam splitter in them, probably why they are so expensive as they were even when they were current in the 1980s they cost, £ 42 about $ 57.On the other hand, not all SLR metering systems that meter through the mirror needs a circular polarizer. But these cameras became exceptions to the rule.

Your description is correct for TTL metering cameras...Should that not be: put on the polariser filter, rotate to the effect you want, take the light reading, and then the photograph?
