This reminds me of a Gent who told me that Filters seriously Degraded the quality of his Takumar`s , do n`t know if they were Super or SMC Tak`s,..
Another photog was frantically in search of FUJI filters for FUJI Lenses for those \" played nicely together \" ,..a Minolta shooter used Minolta filters and said there were No problems , looking at your pics., showed me that it is part of a shooting style as well, I always have the sunshade mounted and a hand ready for extra shielding , I must admit having had the same result as you , but with a rangefinder ( Bessa L with heliar 15 f4.5 ) without filter tho`..a Reflex finder could have  \" warned \" me in time.

For me , I detect an Improvement in Micro-contrast , on a Variety of Lenses....Nikkors..Mamya ( M645 )..Horseman ( FUJI / Schneider )..Rollei ( Tessar / Xenar )..etc.

I would say that Light striking Glass sideways Usually poses a Challenge,..my SEKOR 300 f5.6 ( M645 ) lived through an ordeal as it was protected by a UV filter which took the blow and cracked , leaving Front Lens Unscathed.

So I think that Style and Conditions may play a Significant part in Adopting Filters , Abrasive Dust would be Detrimental to Front Lens coatings , so at the end of the day it could be a case scenario of choosing between the lesser of two evils.

Has anyone looked at the Site I linked to ?...I find their Testing Procedure rather Interesting and Solid.

...and...How can I Switch Off that picture of Interrupting all the time..it is downright Annoying..
