A filter is just another piece of glass that the light has to go through, and it DOES affect quality. Of course, on high-end filters, the effects are so little, but you need a really expensive filter for that.I don't use filters on any of my lenses, even the expensive ones. Heck, I've got an 85mm 1.4G, which costs R18 000 ($2400) here, and I don't use a filter on that lens. I use the lens hood permanently, so the front element is well protected. Also, a high-end filter that's GOOD ENOUGH costs as much as it would cost to replace the front element on my lens if I ever broke it, so I'd rather just risk it and be sure that my photos are as good as my lens can do, and not hindered by a filter that I may never need.</blockquote>
