[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 180183, member: 1556"] I want you to think about something. If there is a really old house in your area and I mean REALLY old, I want you to go and look at the window glass in that house. You will see tiny ripples and, in some cases even bubbles. Consider this level of quality to be the cheaper end of the spectrum of glass. How well are your images going to turn out shooting THROUGH that glass? Protection from the elements is only one aspect of a clear glass filter. If protection is the ONLY criteria, then the lens cap is all you need. You want the glass to be as optically pure as possible. It takes far less materials and time to make crappy glass than it does to make the best. Hope this helps to clarify (pun intended) your question. JMTCW Pete [/QUOTE]
