A bird flew into it and broke it. I shot through in once or twice while driving. Especially while on interstate divided highways I dreamt about being in a car/truck that I could stand in and shoot out the top while driving; a bubble turret... There is never anyplace to pull over on those interstates it's like being in an airplane not at a window seat or over a wing; it all happens not where you are or can get to. But with no spritzer the bugs left quite a gobo effect on my large window and I though I might miss the effect once it's gone. I should patton it and send it to Adobe and/or Tiffen. Idle musings. I would not want a high speed doomed bug or swallow to hit my lens, get me a UV filter made of safety glass! Make that a green Polarizing filter made of bullet proof glass! Mark Rabiner
