RE: Re[2]: Multicoated filter on a single-coated lens
I guess I am just the most fortunate person because in 30 years of shooting, often in hostile environments, and under adverse conditions, I have yet to damage a front lens element, and I don't use filters of the UV or Skylight variety for lens protectors. I am partial to opaque, metal lens caps for that purpose. Now I will probably get run over crossing the parking lot to get to my car this evening but... :-) Paul M.

Hi,
just a thought, but maybe the ones who _did_ use filters are the ones
lucky enough not to be featured in "Requiem" !

RE: Re[2]: Multicoated filter on a single-coated lens
No, lint is not damaging but darned aggrevating when dusted across the surface of your lens. If you don't use one of the newer fabric lens cleaning cloths an old cotton tee shirt that has been washed until it is very soft is perfect for cleaning a lens along with a good lens cleaning solution...AFTER... using a can of compressed air or a gentle brushing with a fine camel hair brush to knock off the big chunks before rubbing them into the coating.

I don't know how to tell whether something contains lint or not, so assuming that lint is damaging I try to use only stuff that is specifically intended for lens cleaning. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] We - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Just got a new idea, though, after reading this thread. How 'bout an eBay sale of "Mint+ Custom Microfiber Optical Cleaning Fabric! Specially conditioned!! LQQK!!! NO RSRV" Nyuk, nyuk!
