It makes me sick to think about the bayonet 60mm B+W and Hasselblad filters I wasted my money on over the years. After all, if you have a Zeiss or Leica lens, you have to have a $200 filter on it right? I could have bought a couple replacement lenses for what those damn things cost. Anyway, all my lenses are naked now. The thing I noticed is that I was INCREDIBLY careful of my expensive UV filters, and I NEVER got a scratch on them. So what's the POINT???
