He probably lost it in the bathroom when he was cleaning it at the end of the season. Are you sure it didnt go down the plughole Eric?

My Sigma 12x24 is an FX that gives good results on a D610 so on a DX most of the edge problems are reduced quite a bit.

In the end I went for the 12-24 and I'm impressed and happy I tried both in the shop, couldn't tell much difference unless pixel peeping, went for the one I figured I would use the most Took it to Mull a few days later and it pretty much stayed on the camera all week

A lot of lens dissatisfaction can be caused by attached accessories, like that filter shown in your post. A lot of them degrade the image because of the extra surfaces, defects etc. Without careful testing of a lens with a specific accessory there is no way of knowing the extent of the accessory degradation.

You are right there Mike, I experienced ghost images, like watermarks in one set of images, eventually I nailed it to the UV filter which I had been advised to use in front of the lens. I had five 52mm UV filters at that time, frame the 'best' coated Nikon and Hoya to no-name cheapies. I replicated the conditions and tested them all, in fact some of the cheapies did a better job than the 'best' but they all degraded the image significantly. With the exception of my Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 which I am unable to remove the filter for fear of damaging the lens, I got rid of all my UV filters at that point. I have suffered very occasional marking on the front element as a consequence but I have yet to see any degradation of an image as a consequence of the slight marks. Unfortunately I seem to have deleted that set of images from about 2010, probably during one of my culls! One 'accessory' which I do recommend is to use the lens hood, that can increase the contrast in an image, especially when using wide lenses.

The only one I use consistantly is on the Laowa Venus 15mm f4 macro, which will focus down to about 1 cm and is difficult to clean. For dirty situations I will put one on.

Could You tell us about the LAOWA 15 f4.0, as I am looking into that one , since I can not afford Nikon`s PC-E 19 f4.0. I have seen a report about it , but it did not mention the quality when Rise/Fall was applied , apart that 3mm was the max for full frame. How is it at Infinity with Rise/Fall applied ?
