[QUOTE="AC016, post: 110002, member: 9619"] Protecting your lens is one of the functions of a lens hood. Lens hoods also cut down on flare. I beleive UV filters were more of a concern back in the film days. Sure, it's an extra layer of protection for the front of your lens, but is there any REAL benefit aside from that? Ultra Violet rays are damaging, but you don't have any film in the camera to damage. Todays DSLRs, in my opinion, don't need such protection. You can use one and see if there is a drastic improvement with your pictures that are in direct sunlight, but i am not sure you will be astounded by any differences that may show up. [/QUOTE]
