[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 489796, member: 13090"] I shoot with a CPL probably 90% of the time or better but that's because I like what a CPL does for my shooting outdoors. If you shoot the deserts and/or beaches out here you'll find a CPL, or ND, is almost essential just to control exposure, but filters are also easier to clean since I can just use the kitchen sink when I get home. While I don't abuse my gear I don't treat it like Ming porcelain either and impact damage is not something I'm overly concerned about. I do have one of those "anecdotal" stories where my camera took a wicked tumble down a rocky embankment, the filter took a nasty hit and the front element was left untouched. There's no telling what would have happened had the filter not been there sooooo... I dunno. I try not to overthink this stuff. I like CPL's so I use them a lot but I don't fret over my front lens element. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].... [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
