I'm not going to use any filter without a hood. Even with a wide. I think a UV filter WITH a good lens hood less of a darned shame. I used to think not using a hood really casually shoddy but in the past few years don't use them so much for my wide angles. As I really can see what they'd do light wise or protection wise. They just stick way out and get in the way. On a normal sure and for sure sure on a tele. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: "Henning J.
