      My dream adapter has built in electronics, combined with its own setting ring.
      I can connect the adapter to my computer, and program what lens its mounted on.
      And through the setting ring, I can manually transfer exif data to my pictures.

      It's actually not that magical. Basically, reflected lights are usually polarized but refracted lights aren't, so if you set the filter to block that specific polarization you remove the reflection.

    This makes me miss shooting with a 4x5 view camera. I used to do commercial product and portrait shoots with one. Being able to easily do things like perspective correction, macro photography, selective focus, etc., was really easy when you could move the front plane of the camera (with the lens) independently of the rear plane (with the film). I had a few adapters like the ones here for my Hasselblad as well.
    Of course, now you just shoot the basic photo and then you digitally manipulate it to create these effects, so you have even more options available to you. I miss shooting on film, but I like being able to manipulate the image in different ways without spending money on film and processing.

    Had a Vizelex Polar Throttle on my A7C, and the results were not too shabby. Unfortunately it tended to become loose during normal operation, there seems to have been a problem with the locking mechanism between adapter and camera. That may have been a fault of the individual copy I bought, but I ultimately decided to return it.
