My sum up is: Don't bash your lenses around such that you have to worry about damage to the front element.
I use filters when I think I need one for whatever reason; I don't otherwise. I don't think about it otherwise either. If I damage a lens, I pay to have it repaired or I replace it. It's just equipment and money. Not worth wasting so much mental energy on. ;-) G On Nov 3, 2013, at 6:39 AM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > We had Roger Cicala from LensRentals.com speak at our monthly Carolina's > Nature Photography meeting.
