Title: Got Filter?
Post by: JBar on February 11, 2013, 03:43:20 PM: Just wondering what filters some of the folks are running on their lenses if any? Is there one you leave on all the time or do you change them from situation to situation? I have a 40D with a 28-135 kit lens and it has a polarized filter on it. Should I take it off and run a different one?

Is that on your lens all the time?

Phool - the first pic the Redondo pier?
