earleygallery Posted December 14, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted December 14, 2011 I shall bookmark this thread and post the link on any more threads with people who think that the (dust) spots on their photos are caused by dust on/in the lens!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocaburger Posted December 14, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted December 14, 2011 If a front element cracked to pieces has no noticeable effect on image quality, then what exactly is the basis for the assertion that a protective filter causes image degradation? Â What is incontrovertible, is that even small coating scratches degrade the resale value, and given the current cost of Leica lenses, that could amount to quite a sum. While I say I'll never sell any of mine, the truth is, never say never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted December 14, 2011 Share #6  Posted December 14, 2011 http://www.digoliardi.net/P6010603.jpg  That's an economical, early central density filter made for the pictured 8x10" sky or research camera: a semi-silvered star laminated onto the filter. It works very well. (The rectangular artifact is light coming in from the open ground-glass back in the rear.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messsucherkamera Posted December 14, 2011 Share #7 Â Posted December 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Amazing. Â Apparently it doesn't make much difference, unless you are shooting against the light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
