[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 84238, member: 9521"] I always use a hood. It's good practice and it only takes one perfect image marred by lens flare that you cannot remove, no matter how hard you try, to teach you to keep a hood on. As for filters, it's a personal choice. Some people take issue putting cheaper glass in front of very fine glass while others buy glass that's nearly as expensive as their lenses. I suppose if you're worried about a stick jabbing into your lens tube then maybe a filter would help but typically lenses are dropped and I'm still not convinced a filter will be much help in a situation like that.
