And I have found ND filters can be reeeeeally handy when shooting in snow, in the desert or or on the beach. For these applications I find ND16 (four-stop) is about ideal. As for filters for protection and all that... I'll just say I'd much rather remove dried-on salt-spray from my $60 filter than the front element of my  $1200 lens. Same goes for the sand we have in the high deserts which has NOTHING in common with ordinary beach sand; this stuff is finely abrasive talcum powder, gets everywhere and can be be very difficult to remove... Well, except with running water which makes it easy peasy.,,,,</blockquote>
