Would like to pose a question to the photographers on the forum related to the use of filters, not for special effects but as lens protection. I have always used a UV or Skylight filter to protect my lens from scratches but it has always bothered me to pay $2000 for a lens and stick a $100 piece of glass in front of it. Interested to know who uses a filter on their lens at all times.
Second point - with film cameras, there was a purpose to a UV filter in addition to protection in that it filtered out UV rays. I understand that it is not required in Digital Cameras as the sensor ignores UV light. So, if you want to use a filter for protection, should you use a UV or a NC filter?
Interested to hear your thoughts
