Bill, I see what you and others are saying. As a matter of fact my exercise in grand enablement with all three Limited lenses has been serious investment for me. So I have to protect it somehow. Another thought. I am tall, not as tall as you, but still I have my 6 feet ;-). The acceleration caused by mother earth attraction is known to be 9.81 m/c^2. And I am known to let things be in gentle care of mother's earth attraction. It is only logical to prefer to have to replace the filter than go through the hoops replacing the front element. As a side note... So far I couldn't find a reversing ring for 49 mm diameter in Tel Aviv. Go figure...
