Perhaps yet another reason to avoid filters unles absolutely necessary.
Ghosts are real.? The thread below mentions the curved "protective" FE in the? 
new tele's.? One might suspect even worse ghosting with a more reflective 
sensor rather than film.

"Digitial specific" filters certainly sounded? very fishy at first.
Wonder if Dr. Reflection is still a list member.

I seem to remember that in the long ago and far away, Pentax made some
filters that were distinctly curved surface.
They had an odd name which escapes this foggy mind.
