[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 419308, member: 27017"] When I was shooting an SLR, I purchased UV filters to protect the lens. I noticed how they made the sky pop. I loved it. When I purchased my DSLR and lenses I had read that a UV wasn't required for the pop, but an NC filter would be good for protection. I bought one for my lenses. Then after reading on here and other places I saw recommendations for CPL filters. On that I bought one for each of my lenses. Yes they are easy to clean (blowing desert conditions) and [I][B]if I remember to[/B][/I] adjust them when the relationship to the angle of the sun changes, they do help bring out the details in skys, etc. Some days I become frustrated with them, because I shoot and then think about adjusting the CP-L. In my walk around shooting conditions I may see something (bird flying) in the sun, across from the sun, away from the sun... and the filter is off in three out of the four shots. This frustrates me with the CP-L and I am tempted to put the NC's back on. Basically, I am still weighing out the options, also. I do like having something more than the lens cap on the end of my lenses though. [/QUOTE]
