semi-ambivalent Posted March 4, 2014 Share #21  Posted March 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I only use ND filters when I want to use lenses wide open in bright lighti conditions 3 stop ND filters are for me a good compromise in the UK  I never use protective filters, walk with my M in hand and usually with a protective hood, but not always. I am quite clumsy, but glad to say all lenses are perfect. I know some will disagree but why add a flare prone lump of glass and compromise the lens performance ?  Okay I might exaggerate with lens performance but if youve ever seen shots from a camera with a stack if filters on you know it has some impact  I've seen a website where a guy stacked five clear filters on a 35mm f/1.4 Nikkor and shot a landscape from a hotel's upper floor. Again, with no filters. Provided full prints. You choose which was which. You couldn't tell, (but I happened to guess correctly). You couldn't tell.  Play that off against a nice cleaning mark on your Summilux's front element. Do you really have to ask? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
