Very tired. But I am putting together a workshop program and will indeed have a lot to say about filters. Now that the weather here on the coast of CA looks like spring, I am, with the help of my daughter, shooting filter stuff. I will specifically comply with your request. It'll take a few weeks, but I'll do it. I shot a bunch of stuff a couple of weeks ago (So. end of San Francisco Bay). A lot of reflection (glare) on the water, and I shot some S-curve walkway compositions. I used my M6 and 35/2. No filter. Got flare. Ugh! This would have never happened with my R camera as I would have seen it on the GG screen. And moved the composition slightly to eliminate the flare. Later Dan, Jim
