Same here, had a problem with a sticky filter once.

Most modern flashes are daylight (5000K) I believe.
But studiolights are around the 3000K, and i'm not sure about that either

Amazing photo Peter, wished that I made it

Mono perhaps?
Selectively select that part and pull down the saturation might do the trick, after all the brightness level around it should be the same right?

Amazing what was achieved with so little isn't it?
Indeed but the electronics was highly specialize and only could do one thing and that's it so you don't need a lot of power if it's highly optimized.

If they didn't the USSR would have done the best they could too prove that don't you think?

Not the only one Stefan. When I do use a filter (rarely these days) my collection are B+W, Heliopan, Pentax and Hoya.
Glad to know that John.
You also use Heliopan, I've heared the handling of them is better then B+W. what is your thought about that?

Im thinking I may not even bother with a filter now.

Just use a lens hood and then cap when the lens is not in use?

Or just go for a protector?
Hood is most of the time enough to keep objects away from the front glass and there for always use one, even indoors sometimes.
The front glass of modern lenses have a coating that makes it tougher to scratch it but even a small scratch will hit your performance at all most of the time. Lay a small piece of paper on your lens and make a photo, you won't even see the piece of paper.

Although scratch or dent can make it more prone to flaring I believe.
The things you need to watch out for is like John said salt water and corrosive things like such, they can hurt the coating.
Simply wash and resine should do the trick in those cases, at least never had a problem with my beach trips.

Too bad I don't have the money at the moment, got some problems

I think there must be more computing power in this camera than they had when they went to the moon.
Alarmingly for those brave men who went to the moon, that is almost certainly true.
Even today's simple calculators have more.

Graham, like you said UK photographers are Hoya minded might also be the case that the EU mainland are more B+W orientated since they are German.
Here B+W is often cheaper the Hoya link

Tim interesting comparison.
Also worth noting that B+W's most expensive CPL turned out to be a LP
Yeah very strange and to be honest I've never seen that filter among the filter list of B+W so that's very interesting.
But as a note, linear pol don't interferes with today's Pentax AF systems so could be used.
