Definitely, that's essential. It's hard to find a filter that is as flare resistant as the lens. That's why I rarely use them. The only filters I have for my 12-24 are a polarizer and an IR. The polarizer was $170, I believe. The IR filter was $330. Paul On Dec 6, 2006, at 5:15 PM, Rick Womer wrote:
