[QUOTE="everprentice, post: 290205, member: 19874"] So UV Filters. I remember my dad always had a UV filter on his lenses that was in the day of film. I noticed recently that a lot of people do use UV filters on their lenses for protection. If you ask me, I DON'T. Why? Because it adds another element/medium that light has to go through before it gets into the sensor. This affects the properties of the light that we want to expose to. It also creates a myriad of problems when shooting with light sources in front of you. Bottomline, I wouldn't want to put a relatively cheaper piece of glass in front of my well engineered pro-glass unless I want to achieve a certain effect. What is your take on this? == I stumbled on [URL="http://www.dpreview.com/articles/8049091537/the-uv-filter"]this article on DPReview[/URL] on the use of UV filters. For your reading pleasure.
