To some minimal degree it does help with UV from the sun, BUT more importantly twenty bucks on the filter will protect the far more expensive glass and coatings of your lens. With any new lens immediately put one on for protection. I preach this from experience. A week ago when walking in my door the camera swung a little bit and the end of the lens took a hit from the corner of a brick. Fortunately I had been given this advice and faithfully did so with every lens. That day I lost twenty bucks to a moment of carelessness rather than hundreds.I have NEVER got more bang for my buck than I did from that UV filter that day!</blockquote>
