I should probably have one.

Reflections can really be a pain in the neck.

and two of them have large filter sizes. Add in that a really good optical quality filter is expensive and I could spend $6-700 on filters. Of course, if I spent $3k on my last lens I should see this expense in perspective.

There is a company that makes filters that clip inside the camera over the sensor but they don't make a polarizer because it needs to be rotated to work effectively. They do make IR cutoff filters for those of us with full spectrum converted cameras. I may get one of those so I can use all my lenses with my EPL1 conversion.

I read this info and my brains become oatmeal!

The filters that clip inside over the sensor sound like a good way to go.

Best of luck, my dear flamin lib!
