Thoughts on drop-in filters for EF 500mm f4 L

Have any of you used your drop in, or an adapter for 52mm filters? I only ever use CPL or ND, but neither one seems to be something that would come into play at greater distance. What are your thoughts, please?

I have a couple older white lenses that have the drop in door. As long as you have the filter tray in there isn't really any further use or need for it or them. That was a hold over from film days where you did need a UV to correct the blue spectrum. That is unnecessary with digital. and any further filter needs can be done in Photoshop and probably it is best to do it there. Make sure you're using raw, however.

Thank you

I think I have used my CPL in 300/2.8L IS USM once.
