A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

You seemed to miss my point. The filter cost $40 to replace

No, it rather is YOU who missed my point. Sticking a $40 filter in front of what you claimed is your $2k lens" is just outright insanity.

Either you buy a cheap lens and you don't care enough about image quality or its front element to put any cheap piece of glass in front of it or you buy a very expensive less in which case you especially do not want to degrade its potential IQ by dumping a cheap piece of glass in front of it.

You cannot win, the $40 cheap filter has no proper use case whether you have a cheap or an expensive lens.
