lmitch6 Senior Member 539 posts Joined Oct 2005 Location: California More info | May 23, 2010 10:49 | #12 B+W, but only when the situation really, really calls for the extra protection (e.g. dusty environments with lots of wind, around rough salt water conditions). If you seldom find yourself in these situations, I'd save the money and put into a good circular polarizer. The coatings on these lenses are nowhere near as delicate as we've been made to believe. I've got 30 year old FD lenses that have never been UV covered, and optically look as though they were made yesterday.

Otherwise you're just throwing away a stop or two of light. Jon

I'm not sure what the OP will be shooting with this lens, but outdoor portraiture, weddings, etc would tend to have a need for a CPL. Would you like to buy a vowel?
