I don't use filters any more. My lenses are naked, just the way they're meant to be.
Same here. I have CirPols in two sizes but rarely use them because they're fiddly and suck too much light. The UVs I don't use at all.

I do see the value in the CP's though and probably should use them more. Michael

The 40D is on my (want) list, don't make me spend more money.... DAdeGroot wrote in post #5688440 Whereas I have a Circ. Pol. and use it precisely to suck a couple of stops of light. ![]() But then I don't have any NDs or GNDs. Otherwise I'm filter free (well apart from the hmc uv filter on the macro lens - never saw the point in taking it off). Oh, now re-thinking about the PRO1's I've got sitting in the B&H shopping cart.. David
