I normally don't use protection filters because they tend to degrade the image especially with flare. Instead, I relied on the lens hood to protect the front elements. Lately, while traveling, I realized that packing my zoom lenses with bulky lens hoods was not convenient. So I decided to leave the lens hoods at home. But that left the front element of my lenses vulnerable to damage; especially when I did adventure photography. I found that a good solution was to use a high quality protection filter. I used Nikon's filter because I liked the thin mount and the perceived quality of the lens. I also used expensive filters from BW. These filters were very expensive. Sometimes they cost a sizeable percentage of the price of the lens that they protected. Luckily, I stumbled upon Sigma filters. I gave the Sigmas a shot and was pleasantly surprised. They are high quality glass filters with multicoating and thin mounts. I was so impressed by them that I have standardized on Sigma filters.

Perfect fit to protect my new Sigma 30f28 lens on my new Sony Nex-7. Now, if I just could get out there and do some photography!!!
