There is a staggering amount of different polarizing materials
available, so the chance that brand X uses the same basic polizer as
brand Y is nil IMO. That should be the main cause for any difference,
although this 'linear better than circular' thing is quite
persistant, even among some optical experts.
Mmm....I now remember having some quarter- and half-wave plates laying
around somewhere....might do some testing....
