That's what you have to watch out for, and that's when the filter comes off. I haven't quite gotten to the point where I can throw my Leica in my camera bag and run in a hurry, but I hope to soon. :) I use UV filters as lens caps that can stay on if I'm not shooting in lighting conditions that will cause flare. With that and a hood on my lens, I really don't have to worry too much. If I keep my lens cap on, I'm afraid that I'll miss a shot when I'm switching between it and my SLR. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
