PROTECTION FILTER Many photographers recommend using a UV or 1A filter on your camera to protect the lens from scratching. Here is a differentopinion. Bert Sirkin http://www.photocheatsheets.com/ You may disagree with my thoughts on this (it's a very controversial subject), but, save your money on those clearfilters that "protect" your lens (1A, UV, etc.). As I indicated above, unless you spent over $80 for it, it's hurting yourimages. Plus, I don't feel that it protects your lens at all, but that's just my opinion. Whenever I mention this I always get emails from photographers indicating a situation where the "protection" filtersaved their lens, but, in most cases, I don't believe the lens would have been damaged. Putting a piece of glass 2 inchesin front of your lens so it's exposed, is just an accident waiting to happen. I've had some serious accidents with lenses, the worst was about 6 years ago when a 300mm/f4 lens was mounted on aNikon D3 body - both very heavy. I didn't have any filter on the lens and the camera was mounted on a tripod. Thetripod tipped over and hit squarely on the front of the 300mm lens. The area where the filter mounts was severelydamaged, but no damage occured to the lens. I had the lens repaired, and still use it today. I have rarely seen a "protection" filter on a lens that wasn't dirty as well. These tend to get much dirtier than a lens everwill, so they generally degrade your images even more. But, if you insist on a "protection" filter, then I recommend you use a multi-coated filter - and you keep it clean.
