I know that you were half-jesting with your comment, but I could not
let it go without some response. I strongly suspect that many of
those shown with their cameras were using their own equipment.

Carbon black was and still is the best lens cleaning substance ever used. Carbon black
(ultra fine powder) acts like activated charcoal and a mild abrasive that is way too
soft
to hurt the coatings but will loosen and absorb almost any gook. It will lift oils and
other stains that you can't get
Thanks, to everyone who responded about the Lenspen and the carbon black.

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

The advice used to be given to use only lint-free cloth. I don't know how
to tell whether something contains lint or not, so assuming that lint is

I've had some specks on my lenses that I was worried about. Last week I
finally just decided to scrub the crap out of them with a lens pen and
they seem fine.

Let's say I mount a top-end multicoated (B+W or Pentax) -010 UV filter to a
single-coated lens. How much will the filter improve flare resistance?
The lenses in question are my Vivitar Series 1 13/2.3 and 300/3 telephotos.

None. No improvement. It will add to any flair problem, but (presumably)
less so than other filters. The effect occurs at each air/glass interface

If you must use the filter (and even on the lens alone) get
a good lens hood that puts that

Bad news: filters, multicoated or not, can only add to flare. It's a
question of light transmission; no filter and generally no
It might help a little bit in situations where the light coming almost
sideways that would normally hit the front element is now blocked by the
ring on the filter, but then why not just get a good lens hood?

Not much, if at all. A good lens hood is a better solution.
