[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 119757, member: 13090"] I guess all I have to add is that as long as I'm the one paying for my lenses I'm going to be putting... something... in front of those lenses, when needed, to prevent damage. I do remember what was, for me, a pretty routine hike some few years ago where I inelegantly tripped over my own two feet and took a hard tumble/face plant. The cheap 1A filter took an even harder hit, I guess, because it shattered. My actual lens was fine.... Would the lens have suffered had the filter not been there? We'll never know. What I *do* know is I unscrewed the now smashed filter and went on to take several photos worthy of National Geographic because I'm just that awesome and no, you can't see them.... :p [/QUOTE]
