Whatever perceived >degradation is, IMHO, only dandruff deep. It is the other way around, Dan. The degradation caused by filters is real, but only can be seen when REALLY large blow-ups are made. For normal use (4" by 5" to some, 5" by 7" to others, even 8" by 10" to yet others), it probably isn't observable. But try a 20" by 24" full-frame blow-up, though, and you'll note a difference. It all comes down to those who absolutely, positively must have absolute optical perfection. Those guys will never use a filter without a colour-correction reason or the like.
