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.

Thanks, to everyone who responded about the Lenspen and the carbon black.

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. Th

Both lenses come with built-in sliding hoods, though I will indeed equip
them with longer hoods, as I invariably do. But I still prefer to protect
the front glass with a filter; I live in fear of scratching the front
element of a lens that took forever to find and will take a second forever

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

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?

Bad news: filters, multicoated or not, can only add to flare. It's a
question of light transmission; no filter and generally no

If you must use the filter (and even on the lens alone) get
a good lens hood that puts that
I don't think a UV filter has anything to do with flare resistance. Best
thing would be a good lens hood.

The filter added to a single-coated lens, will not improve flare resistance.
The lens must be considered separately from the filter.
The flare of the lens will remain unchanged with or without the filter.
The flare from the filter will be less (probably) than a single-coated or
un-coated fil
