We perform optical photometric and polarimetric monitoring of a sample of gamma-bright blazars using LX-200 0.4-m (Saint Petersburg state university) and 0.7-m AZT-8 telescope (Crimean Astrophysical Observatory), within the frames of GASP/WEBT project. We report that the classical BL Lac object PKS 0735+17 (z=0.424) is active in optical reaching R=14.63 at JD=2459848.5897 and with the degree of linear polarization of 18%. We plan to continue the monitoring of this object. The nightly updated light curve for this object can be found on our
website.
