Thanks for your comments Trevor - yes I figured as much. I read that a filter on the front of the lens is not the way to go, but this was in context of a wide-angle lens discussion. Why do they make asrto filters at 77mm (and larger) if they don't perform in front of the lens? Any thoughts?

Perhaps I'll start another thread and as the question.

Thanks again Trevor

Cheers
