What possible use is a polariser on a lens of this focal length range?
Even at 24mm on APS-C, there are very few shots where a polariser
would give a useful result.

What? Are you serious? What do you think a poloriser does (or does
not do)?

My guess is that Mr. Polson is referring to the uneven polarization
of skies that occurs with wide angles. That's the most common use
for polarizers; so much so that it is often mistaken for the only use.

I've never used the combination I displayed -- I own that 82mm polarizer
to use with my 300mm f/4 AF. For any focal length where I _could_
use the polarizer on the Sigma without hard vignetting, I'd be better
off using my 17-35mm f/2.8.

The only filter I've ever used with this lens is a Hitech graduated
neutral density in a Cokin holder. Lee has recently started shipping
a special kit for the Nikon 14-24mm for just such uses.
