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?

We had Roger Cicala from LensRentals.com speak at our monthly Carolina's
Nature Photography meeting. He talked about lenses - good ones, bad ones
& how to get the best of them.
What I took away from his presentation is that if you have a really good
lens where it's going to be very expensive to replace the front element
you should invest in high quality filters to protect that front element.

What I didn't get was any definite kind of feel for which of my lenses
have expensive front elements & which could be replaced cheaply.
I'm back. I hope.
