Hi Dave, Yes lets keep this about Lens cleaning............... Hopefully POE might start a new Topic and answer the other question raised on here. Cheers, Patrick. Yes my fault, I start a thread then go off topic. Answers are needed though. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

You create another glass / air surface and all the problems that will come................ My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Professionals use them to protect their lenses. Finally, if you want the very best possible optical performance for a certain shot, you can always remove the filter. Compared to lenses, even the most expensive filter is cheap. Edited by: Patrick Hogan at:11th May 2015 21:47 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
