I use the UV filter,a Nikon item,to protect the front element although I always remove it in the studio when the camera is used on the stand I presume(tut tut) that Nikon put as much care into their filters as they do their lenses but I could be wrong. I'm converting my Hasselblad Lens to 35mm Contax body adapter to fit the Kodak . It will be good to see what the difference in image quality is like.One thing is certain, I wont get the awful pincushion distortion that the Zoom Nikkors give :-)) Regards Michael Wilkinson. 106 Holyhead Rd, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire.
