[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 419136, member: 24753"] I use filters to protect the front element from wear caused by cleaning. Glass and/or coatings are not so hard that they cannot be scratched. We are not talking about big scratches you can see, but microscopic. One could use proper cleaning techniques, but even then, repeated cleanings will soften the image over time. This is all fact and simply how things work. Someone will argue that you can't see a big speck of dirt on the front element in the image, so microscopic scratches don't matter, but that doesn't mean both don't soften the image. People's attitudes toward care of their glass this day and age makes me less likely to buy used. [/QUOTE]
