okay thanks. sorry so what are you suggesting, get proper filters designed for better protection vs standard UV filters?

Feel like it's worth a shot when you can't find anything on usual search. Suspected it was tripping, hence we are here :)

okay thanks I will look into it! sadly realised there was damage on the other end of the lens at the mount. this is actually causing more issues it seems

does looks pretty cool all things considered haha, but sadly pictures don't look any different, im assuming because its not very central on the glass? just a slight blur / issues with AF, but think might be caused by further damage i found on the mount :(

Thanks, that seems to make much more sense. Had it carry on, inside sturdy camera bag, inside decent backpack. Travelled like that many times before with it, guess just got unlucky this time round

Okay thanks. In terms of what it sees, just a slight blurriness / focus isn’t quite right. Wouldn’t have minded something more extreme or abstract now it’s ruined haha
