But for a surprising number of lenses, the cost of replacing the front element is less than the cost of a mediocre filter, so don't worry about it. For older lenses, front elements may now longer be available. Then what? Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller -

Interestingly, along a similar lines, my 600 (and other Pentax lenses with drop in filters) requires a filter in place for optimum performance although I've never tested to see effects without a filter. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message

Don't know what you're looking at. The ISO 51,200 image of a night skyline on page 7 is presentable. The ISO 3200 version of the same shot shows little noise. The ISO 1600 BW street scene on page 2 is noise free. All very encouraging. Of course noise levels are highly dependent on rendering
