[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 297922, member: 15805"] My lenses are all naked. Yes, some do have some minor scratches on them. But so what? No one has ever looked at one of my images and said, "Hey, that's a great shot, but it sucks 'cuz the front element is scratched!" And one of the dirtiest lenses I own (filled with dust [I]internally[/I]!) is the sharpest pencil in the box. Keeping your glass perfect is nice, but if it costs you IQ or even losing the shot, then count me out. I fell for the whole using a filter for lens protection back in my film shooting days. When I went digital, I realized that I never once replaced a filter. So I figured if I could keep my filters in good shape, I could keep a lens in just as good of shape. [/QUOTE]
