[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 595534, member: 27043"] What is this space aged material called "glass" of which you speak? Ok, so in the interest of fullest disclosure. 99.9% of the time, no, I don't have a UV filter on the end of the lens. I do have one in the bag. Only reason I'd consider putting it on is if I were shooting say on a beach during a hurricane. Living in Nebraska, granted, it hasn't been an issue. But unless I was in a situation with a ton of flying debris whisking about, no, I wouldn't use a UV filter personally. So why do I have one in the bag? Because the guy I bought the lens from swore by them and included it with the lens. At least it's a B&W so it's a halfway decent brand. If it were something like promaster I'd be using it as a coaster. As for the rest, yes I do have a CPL and a couple of ND filters. They don't see a ton of use but there are several shooting situations I've run across where they are very good things to have in the bag. [/QUOTE]
