I use glass lenses, and haven't a problem, and, yes, they are heavy! Second, I almost always have a filter on my lens, when it is stored. When I pull the lens out for use, offen the filter! Unless, of course, I am shooting chromes or C41 in shadow, when I will use a decamired filter as appropriate. Otherwise, filters are for the collection drawer.
