Joju, dave, dbm...thanks for your reply.
Joju, it could be that the small scatches on the front element wont harm, but they sure look bad. Oily smudges are like soft focus layer on the lens.
I had a RX100 some time back and i managed to scratch it in the beginning itself. It didnt matter for the images but i used to look at it sometimes with a little worry
I agree with dbm's post about peace of mind and the fact that you can ruthlessly clean it when you ha e a filter on it. In routine usage, my front element gets nasty fingerprints/smudges/oily stuff on it...and it doesnt go easily...and the fact that its dusty here.
I am sure someone has these lenses here. Brightcolors? I will try to accurately measure the distance as suggested by Joju.
By the way, Canon suggests using the protective filters.
