THAT'S my problem. I learned that as "six cameras, fifty lenses".

A bit of background to the one camera-one lens vs. x cameras and 10x lenses controversy: I LOVE cameras and lenses and that is why I have a collection of cameras dating as back as 1905 and as late as the 00's, BUT using is another story. Nowadays, it is X2D with the 45P (90% of the time), 5% with the 135 (with or without the 1.7x) and 5% a pristine Nikon F3. But all in all, it's the X2D with one lens and everything else is in the collection:) Works for me but ymmv!

Quote from: xoda on May 25, 2024, 09:31:36 AMQuote from: flash on May 25, 2024, 09:22:31 AMI've been using magnetic filters for a couple of years. It's the first thing I do with a new lens. Store the multi-million-dollar cap and put on a magnetic ring and cap.
So far, I've had zero issues with any lens of any brand pulling off filters or caps. They do vary a bit. SO another cap might not be quite as *grippy*. You can also use a fingernail to pry the cap off rather than grip and pull. That puts a bit less force on the lens.
I can definitely try to fingernail / "pivot" filter off instead of directly pulling on it. But at any rate, if I do pull on it, is this kind of action harmful to the lens?
