[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 329234, member: 24753"] A little bit of an odd first click, but hey, sometimes the first click is a little bit odd. Different ideas out there in the world about using filters to protect the lens. This is why you need a filter if you routinely shoot in hostile environments. This is a CP filter on my 55-200mm with a little dust on it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]99822._xfImport[/ATTACH] or maybe it's more than a little dust. Let's look a bit closer. [ATTACH=CONFIG]99823._xfImport[/ATTACH] Why it's better to carry lens cloth than use a shirttail. Shirttails have oil on them. (no offense to shirttail users:friendly_wink:) [ATTACH=CONFIG]99824._xfImport[/ATTACH] BTW, the hostile environment to a lens is one that is not in a hermetically sealed envelope. [/QUOTE]
