First post guys. Been reading the forums as a guest for a while. Does anyone have a solution for a polarizer for the 10.5mm 2.8?
10.5mm Prime Polarizer options?

I do, do not ever use polarizer on such a wide lens.

Here is some info on the problems on even getting filters on a Nikon 14-24 lens

Anyway a polarizer will not work on the 180 degree you get from your 10.5mm lens, a polarizer has a effect that changes as you change your direction to the sun

I guess the only solution is to use either Lee or Cokin filters, with the largest possible mount (if it will not fit You can use a power tape to attache it the filter holder to lens hood (I've seen this solutions before and users were pleased with results). However, You have to remember this what Pete wrote, that polarize is not gonna work on 180 degrees - way to wide.

On the blog there is a post about Lee Filters and there adapter for the Nikon 14-24 lens and they do not offer a polarizer, only ND, split ND and that kind of stuff

So, you'll never be able to use a polarizer with a fisheye. I've never seen any filters for fisheye lenses, vignetting would be just too much.

Pete - the fact that Lee doesn't offer one made especially for one particular lens doesn't mean it can't be done :)

All filters (polarizing or otherwise) known to photo man kind available today are flat, and you will never be able to use flat filter on a 180◦ fisheye lens it is geometrically impossible. You will need spherically shaped filter to cover full lens angle of view.
Polarizing filters gives awkward results even if used on non fisheye ultra wide lenses because you will have the image with polarization changing from minimum to maximum and back to minimum again giving strange and ugly change in saturation, as in the examples below, and should be avoided in my opinion.
