Damn - you mean I can't get even more fanatical and start collecting
filters too? I thought the addiction meant not just the lenses but the
hoods, the cases and any other genuine accessory!
I usually buy filters if I see a good brand, unmarked, for a coupla bucks
in a junk box. I expect special effect types to degrade image anyway (star,
duto) but keepers tend to be German, I've found. I can buy a good Zuiko
(such as a 28/2.8) for the price of a new german polariser in Aus. so I
don't make a habit of it!
