I've dropped two lenses onto concrete and had the filter rims crushed rather than the lens barrel and one where I mistakenly tried to bayonet another lens into the front of my Summilux 50 ASPH. I thought the double cap was uppermost in my bag. I guess I'm one of your well heeled (not healed!) amateurs. Our sofas don't have plastic coverings though so you would be safe to wear your shorts if you visit. Why do you think that the filters would likely shatter into a million ultra sharp pieces? Good ones at least are laminated materials. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
