You had me up until "$1300 lens" with a British accent, you are false......Unsubscribed,

[starfedrogue]

@LEONJERSEY I'm not sure if this is a joke, or you're mental.

[LEONJERSEY]

@starfedrogue In hard cash, do you spend Sterling Pounds or US Dollars??

Not a joke, and I am not mental, dont play to an audience, it makes you look cheap...............

[starfedrogue]

@LEONJERSEY For a Canon lens I might well have paid dollars, however in this case I paid sterling. But YouTube Insight shows that UK viewers are actually in the minority on my channel - US dollars is the currency with the most per capita relevancy to my subscribers.

I don't understand what your objection is or why you'd call someone "false" just because you didn't care for a choice of currency in a joke video. That's really not average.

If you drop a camera with a UV filter on the front, the shards could scratch the lens...

[starfedrogue]

@dangerouslytalented True, although a scratch in a front element is not the end of the world. A gouge or graze to a special coating however could have quite an effect on your images.

I use UV just because it saves me wiping and scratching my lens vs a piece of glass on the Filter, however the issue iv noticed with them is they cause unwanted holograms on photos in underground car parks or under certain lighting which i think is because the glass on the filter is flat where as the rest of the lens has curved surfaces ?

hey nice review esp hitting the filter with that hard metal stuff. I find the lens filter to be effective in preventing accidental finger print smudges on the front element

Also if possible post a vide on how to clean a camera lens. Does cleaning a lens has a potential to scrape off special coating on the front element?

Dammit!

... nvm ...

[kenandkids]

@starfedrogue Definitely mental.

[LEONJERSEY]

@kenandkids TOOL, you have missed the point, I can calculate ANY currency into ANY numeric value TOOL. And talking off educated....... Dont make me, make you look like a TOOL.......TOOL

[kenandkids]

@LEONJERSEY Perhaps if you were a little more educated, you just might be less of a tool. I'm an American and I have no trouble using pounds, yen, or dollars depending on audience and topic.
