[QUOTE="Patrick M, post: 117518, member: 2332"] This is real interesting, and lots of views. So here's my tuppence worth. I travel a lot, and carry the D5100 in either a slingback or smaller messenger style bag....depends on circumstances. My old D80 did suffer scratches...so I use Hoya u/v filters to offer protection. The U/v happens to be the one I'd use most, so if I forget to take it off, that's not usually such a big deal. Note. It's a few seconds to remove, so if I want to be sure my expensive lens shot isn't going to be adversely affected by the far cheaper filter, I take it off! It's a few seconds of my time. Far cheaper than the lens it's on. We have choices. Mine is to protect the lens with a filter and remove the filter when I'm shooting. To me, I get the comfort of that idea of protecting the lens.
