I felt the same way but then I was at a lecture at the Canon Learning Center and the photographer (I think it was Pye Jyrsa but might have been a different lecturer) and also the Canon rep (Jessica Bruzzi) in charge of the education at the center both said to the attendees that it’s better not to degrade the image quality with a filter (even an expensive one) and not to worry about it because if you happen to damage the front element it the least expensive fix. I believe she (the Canon rep) quoted something like $70 to replace a front element, which I guess isn’t as expensive as the other elements to repair. Just something to consider.Yes, I always have UV-0 filters in front, life saviour for once and I always make sure every lens has one since then. Thanks for pointing out.
