Well I can give you my €.02 about American beer but that is about the end of it. To me, it is like sex in a canoe - nicely in line with your theme =P I have for each diameter (except 77 mm which I need quite badly for the lens used in that shot - FS anyone?) one such filter that I put on for trips to the beach, playground, etc. The rest of the time I leave them off. BTW big pain with the 16-50 is when you don't put on the cap quite right you can slide it right over the front element. That is poor design in my book. Oh yeah and if Pentax were smart, they'd put a front element bayonet mount on their lenses so you could just replace as needed. Better IQ and still money to be made. > As someone once put it, it's like using a condom. Do you use them? Heck, sure I use condoms, mostly 18% neutral Trojans for white balance reference shots. Keep away from the lubricated ones, they reflect too much. Now I can see nuisance alright but name one moment in your life when a condom caused flare or glass quality questions?
