Poll: UV Filters : Use them or not?

Sep 16, 2009

I used to use them all the time to protect the front lens element but some have said they can take away from image quality. I tend to feel that if a lens hood is used, that a filter is not needed, unless shooting in wet or dusty conditions or something.
