Yesterday I tested all my and Stevies lenses. With and without filters. Filters range from Nikon through Hoya HMC Pro1 to a Jessops. Camera was a Nikon D100.
Lenses tested,
2 x Nikkor 17-35ED AFD
1 x Nikkor 28-105 AFD
1x Nikkor 50mm AIS
1 x Nikkor 55mm AIS Macro
1 x Nikkor 105mm AIS
1 x Nikkor 80-200ED AFD
1 x Sigma 28-200 D
The camera was mounted on my big Slik tripod and a cable release was used. Additional to standard lens hoods the lens was additionally shielded from stray light by a black flag.
I could find no detectable difference filter on or off.
While I don't doubt that some members have found filters having an adverse affect I cannot find a logical reason for this.
