[QUOTE="STM, post: 490623, member: 12827"] [I]All[/I] of my lenses except my 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (for obvious reasons) and 300mm f/2.8 and 600mm f/4 (Nikon put built in filters in each) have Hoya multicoated UV (0) filters on them. I often work in dirty or sandy environments so they are essential for me. I have done quite a bit of testing when it comes to IQ and flare and I do not see any difference. Since all of my lenses are AI/AIS, it would be essentially impossible to get a front element replaced. I would rather sacrifice a $30-$50 filter than the front element of any of my lenses! The key is[B][I] not [/I][/B]to skimp on cheap filters. Hoya filters are as good as any out there and half the price of B&W filters. Why spend twice as much for the same quality? [/QUOTE]
