LUGs,

In my opinion using front-mounted filters on wide-angle lenses, less than
35mm, is a no-no, because of refraction problems. This is a case where thin
gelatin filters may be better than glass.

The new 28mm Elmarit is a stunner, but I cannot compare it with the previous
one.

Best of Light,

Chris
