And also fiddling with manual WB btw ….

A filter protecting a lens ? Really?
I once dropped a camera, - well someone did one of mine in Barcelona, do not 
ask questions … - the shards of the broken filter screwed the front element of 
the lens, in part. 
Had I not screwed that f… filter on, the whole gear would have been left 
pristine.

Now, to everyone their deserts ;-)
