The Wave
We finally scored some permits to Coyote Buttes North. We hiked in via the typical wire pass route and exited out of the lesser traveled notch to complete a full loop.
Extremely high winds (50mph+) during our day in CBN reeked havoc on our gear... good times

My respekt, great shots.
I love the whole CBN area.
The fisheye perspective, gives an other impression.
I hate the sandstorms of the southwest.
I did your experiences in the CBS and other places.
Did you protect your lenses by an filter? Or is this kind of protection to fearful?

Michel,
I was shooting in Death valley once during a sandstorm, after slapping on an UV filter to protect the front of the lens from sand abrasion. I was using the Canon 24-105 mm lens and after returning to the hotel, I found the zoom ring to be gritty. Fine sand had crept under the zoom ring and was a pain to clean.
That experience taught *me* a few things: (a) use an UV filter (high quality I may add so as not to degrade the image quality) to protect the front of the lens, (b) avoid zooming the lens if you can, (c) wrap a handkerchief or something over the lens, making sure that it extends over the mount area, and (d) not to shoot if the sand is really flying.

Michel,
I don't use an UV filter under normal shooting conditions. The Schneider filter looks fine; I use a B+W *silm mount* filter.

I would personally not use an UV filter in canyons (even though it's very sandy). Afterward, I give it a thorough clean with a rocket blower and microfiber cloths.
