He's not kidding--you joke with him about it at your peril. I have another friend who says, "I'm not going to pay good money for Leica lenses and put a piece of window glass on it." Both take fine pictures. Their respective galleries don't seem to make the distinction. - --Mike The one partisan thing I will say is that I don't think filters are needed for _protection_.
