Interesting, sounds amazing. I wonder what cost. I finally did away with protection filters, it will be interesting to see what people think of them. Thanks Rick.

Considering the main detraction for protective filters IMO is IQ degradation rather than reduced transmission and that the article mentions only light transmission I don't believe it's going to sway too many who are already hard against them. If the filter was advertised to reduce reflections, flare, distortion, loss of contrast, loss of sharpness, etc in comparison with other protective filters it would be a different matter.

I thought it did say reduced glare etc. Increased transmission would mean less light in the wrong places.
