Aparently not. As it's been explained to me, AA filters typically use a birefringement material like Lithium Niobate, to split the beam. If the incoming light is polarized in the direction parallel to the material's axis of refraction, the light won't split.I am not so sure. Assume polarized light hits the first splitter (call it vertical), so a single point source turns into 2 points even though it's polarized.
It will still be split in the other direction, by the d800's other filter plate, but this means you'd get only half of the filter's intended effect, and it would be in just one direction.
