I was NOT using a filter on my 55 Micro-Nikkor in the highly flare-prone boxing example below. A filter would have protected the lens from the sweat and blood that often gets thrown onto the ringside photographers (and their lenses) during a boxing match - but would have potentially introduced the flare I was trying to avoid. > > Rob McElroy > Buffalo, NY > Which would be worse: Flying sweat or sea foam? mark rabiner
