Abstract
The effect of a linear polarizer is conventionally well defined when viewed along the axis normal to its face. However, even for ideal linear polarizers, the non-normal viewing geometries attainable with wide-angle lenses require further considerations. A method to describe the polarization state of light passed through a linear polarizer and observed with an equidistant fisheye lens is described.
