I usually use multi-coated solid glass filters. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

Ron, let's ask this question: How far does the extra UV filter reduce the contrast? At least 3% for two glass/air surfaces, which is a lot if you add 3% of a bright area to a dark area! Theoretically it could add some RGB 8,8,8 to the linear gamma shadows, on its own, before the lens groups come into play, and before gamma adjustment boosts it further. Bart |

Bart, thanks for the quantification. I suspected something like this. In other words, you don't want any superfluous filters, at least when you take high-contrast photos. Night shots are just an extreme example and make the extra reflections very visible. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
