Use a UV filter when playing with steel wool
Larry's words... http://www.petapixel.com/2012/02/14/beware-light-painting-with-steel-wool-can-be-hazardous-to-your-lens-health/ -- Larry Colen LRC at red4est.com (from dos4est) While it looks out of favor, another possible source of lens damage is plain, old fireworks. Even if one's in a zone apparently safe, sudden gusts of wind may land more than smoke in lens, eyes or clothing. While the damage presented to the lens on the link is rather extreme, even smaller coating damages may degrade quality and are easily prevented by a lens filter. I'd add a lens shade myself - they cut down filter/ front element dirt and saltspray for those near the sea, cut down flare, and protect filter threads from dings in case something bigger than sparks hit the lens. ...of course if it's big and fast enough there are other issues than gear damage. -- luiz felipe luiz.felipe at luizfelipe.fot.br -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Use a UV filter when playing with steel wool
Why protect only the lens element, when hot molten steel lumps from steel wool as in this case, quoted and pictured, can hit any part of the camera causing damage. This silly fad can also hit and injure people. It is taking photography to silly and foolish heights, I am afraid. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

It's amazing the number of people who don't seem to realise that the 14-24mm isn't like their kit lens.
