Because lens shades are the things that belong on the ends of lenses - they eliminate flare (And sorry guys and gals, but even the best, most flare-free lens will flare on occasion), they keep rain and snow off the lens surface if it's not blowing right at the camera, the protect the front element from bumps and scratches and scrapes, and they keep kindergarteners at bay. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Eric Welch Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 9:38 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Taking Umbrage at John's Lens cap missive The only one I can think of is they don't understand the benefit.
