I've run tests in the past and generally rsolution isn't much harmed by a quality filter. There is perhaps more of a chance of flare, and that was found to be the case.

More importantly, there have been instances where a filter broken whilst on a lens has actually scratched the front element.

I would not use a filter unless it were for a specific purpose that can't be achieved in photoshop. So I might use a polariser, although in practice I rarely do. I always use a lens hood as this does afford good protection to impact on the front of the lens and the front element.

I reviewed both of these for EPZ/PU and the 24-70mm is better optically, but the 28-105mm is less expensive, more compact and has a better telephoto reach.

I bought the 28-105mm and it serves very well.

They are compatible, the only difference is the silver finish.

Looking good! Glad the review prompted you!

Call it what we like, it boils down to practice, practice, practice, which is I suppose the same as "muscle memory". I use a lot of different cameras for lens reviewing and the first job is to set up the camera and make sure everything I want switched off is switched off. Then it's a matter of setting up and double checking as we go and being careful, but it does get easier. Needless to say there are some cameras I find more intuitive than others, but it's not as time sensitive as flying an aircraft, so that lessens the difficulties!

Given the choice between what you've photographed and tarmac, I'll take the scene you've photographed any day. Some things are worth fighting for.

You've got your eye well in there Gareth. Some of those made me smile.
