Thanks for the input on this issue.


I hope I wasn't wasting anyone's time, with this post.

As I keep reading, I look at my camera and say, how can I do that, or can I do what I do better, because of what I have read and seen, on this forum.

My equipment and I will be pushed to the limits, to get to the level I have seen here.

Hope to shoot more, edit soon and contribute, and get feedback.

Brendan,

Tom is correct about the integrity is best with no other lenses or filters. for that reason it is important to buy the very best filters you can afford!! I have always been suspecious of resin lenses just for that reason, though I have no evidence of them being any less quality.
Filters need only be used when you are trying to have a specific effect, otherwise you shouldn't place extra glass infron of your lens.
Most people doing outdoor vidography place a protective filter over their lens; however, if I am doing close up or macro work I always remove it.
