Actually no! The decision to not use the filters was primarily made when using non-Pentax glass on Pentax bodies. Particularly the Tokina 28-70 which I did notice the flaring on. I have not particularly noticed any exceptional flaring on Canon lenses, but the lens hoods *are* bloody big. I still have a Tok 28-70 in EOS - so there's a ready made test I can do, eh. I'll get onto it in a couple of weeks when I've got some annual leave from work. If I set the Tok and Canon to 50 mm and compare to my K50mm, with and without lens shades, might be an interesting comparison.....
