But what about flare when using a polarizer?
You think so? The element is so far down the barrel I can barely touch it
(if I wanted to) with my index finger, I can't imagine a scenario that would
result in something hard (or soft) touching the lens.
I protect my other lenses, but not that one. But if he feels better/safer
with one on, then by all means do so, but, it's such a nice lens, get a nice
B&W or something :)
