It should be noted that there are different strengths of UV (Sometimes
called haze) filters, as there are skylight filters. Tiffen, just for an
example, has several UV filters

Hi!
Har! I have one Vivitar VMC filter that is real bitch to clean :).
I suppose I will eventually get across the pond and then the shopping
will happen.
Thanks Shel and thanks Mark - your comments are very much appreciated.

Hi!
If I may make a suggestion
Yes of course...
Seriously, don't go out and buy a bunch of clear glass.
It's not really time consuming to change filters. If you are in an all fired
rush to get some glass, get a really good polarizer in each of the sizes you
use, and one protective

May I ask what is it mail order? And can I use mail order from Israel?
Mail order is what you do when you buy things from shops and have them sent to
you by mail. Like BH. :-)

Hi Fred,
I have had a similar experience as Alan. There is indeed a small
difference between HMC and SHMC. Not much but sometimes visible.
Ah, good - thanks, Frantisek.

Ditto. Except for the Pentax bayonet mount ones for the P67 lenses...

Hi!
For some time I've been using el cheapo (Cokin plastic et al)
protective filters on my lenses. Some time ago I stopped doing so.
Then recently I found that some of my lenses are now dusty inside.
Then on eekBay I found that there are Pentax made lens filters. Some
of them are even SMC.

I should think so. If you mentioned scratches on the front element

To your question, SMC Pentax filters are highly reputed.

Indeed. I think most internal dust enters between moving parts (when

To your question, SMC Pentax filters are highly reputed. Hoya HMC are

Boris,
main problem with filters is that they can cause unwanted flare and gosting.
That's why SMC-coated filters theoretically should be the best. However I
