[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 595357, member: 13090"] Putting aside aesthetic decisions about things like how awesomely attractive huge reflections look on classic cars, I'd like to see Tony take a silky waterfall shot or shoot under full sun at the beach/desert using f/1.4 for creative control of the background while maintaining reasonable shutter speeds, without using an ND filter. Sometimes, at least in my experience, "losing" a stop or two, while at the same time cutting glare, is actually a GOOD thing. Tony also needs to get with the, oh, I dunno... Say the 19th century or thereabouts in that even moderately priced filters are not made of plastic any more but rather an amazing, space-age material called... [I]GLASS[/I] (oooooo... ahhhhhh!) Even more shocking is that some manufacturers actually strive to create a quality product and know a little something about optics to begin with. Further, While I don't use a UV filter to protect the lens, and agree you don't need UV filtration for digital photography, I do use Hoya HD Protectors frequently because I much prefer getting crap on a filter instead of the lens to begin with. This is mainly because the filter is removable and I can very conveniently clean a filter at the kitchen sink without risk to my $1,000+ lens but hey... To each their own.
