It's just like insurance, you really have to assess if it's warranted. Looking at it another way I could say that because I haven't fitted $40 filters to all my lenses I can afford up to a $900 lens repair. Fortunately in 20+ years of Pentax lens ownership and use in rain, wind, surf and sand I haven't damaged a front lens element due to not having a "protective" filter attached. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
