[QUOTE="J-see, post: 475189, member: 31330"] For stacking an UV + CPL there is a definitive answer; it's not needed and can at worst only have negative consequences. The UV does nothing but protect the lens which a CPL also does when you put it in front of the lens. So if you use the CPL, remove the UV. There is no definite answer to the matter of protection or not; we all have to make up our own mind.

If I'd rank all my lenses according to use, the 35mm is somewhere at the bottom so it is ironic she got damaged.
