UV Filter fogging the element
Looking back it was actually an A35-105 which makes it a double crying shame! Here's a picture I took before selling it on for spares/repairs: You can see where the shattered filter left road rash all over the front.

...yes they are very fragile :wink: Nice one Stefan - there IS a good use for a C***n - as hammer tester. The hammer in the film obviously failed. Reckon mine could do better. 8) Seriously, it isn't as hard as that clip might suggest to damage the coating on a lens. Guess how I know. :oops:

UV Filter fogging the element
I have been doing photography for 30 years and have yet to drop a camera on its front lens element. Use a hood all the time, no need for anything else unless you are in a sandstorm or salt water spray.

Nope. A plastic one, are you serious? I never would have thought that would be able to damage the lens :?

The stuff dreams are made of
I've had both, I'll take the DA*300 every time. It has a removable tripod collar Not nearly as good as the handle on the F*. dust & moisture sealing, Nice, but I've been out in showers with the F*. SP coated elements, Sounds good, but in practice makes no difference to image quality. fast...

Pentax 200mm, Sigma 180mm tests
As I now have both of these lenses I have done a few comparison shots with the Pentax A*200mm f4 macro and the Sigma DG 180mm f3.5 Basic specs are, the Sigma weighs in at 1200grms with a 72mm filter and the Pentax at 950grms with a 58mm filter, I was a bit lazy and had the Pentax mounted on th...

Non, only use a filter for a purpose or wasn't that what you where asking? Outdoors I often use a polariser to cut through the haze and get more vibrant colours and bluer skies.

It could also be colour no. 52 and 58, I seem to remember that from old days. However, in the digital world I would only use polarizing filters, and the ND grad filter to prevent blown-out skies.

500 mirror
In its day it was rated as a good budget mirror lens, better than much of the similarly priced mirrors. You'll find many posts about it on Google, most asking about it admittedly, but a few rating it. I did have a link to a comment that it was one of the best 3 or 4, but I can't find it now. That...
