Re: Now you know why not to use filters for "protection"

ME TOO. and the UV was scratched BAD.

We can debate this ALL DAY, but it comes down to this. In certain shooting situation, UV is better then no UV. For drops, lens hoods are better. I use BOTH.

Some lenses are harder coatings on the front.

My old digital camera screen had tons of scratches on it. My 5DIII has NONE. Beating coatings.

For my hiking where the camera is on my neck, no lens caps (So I can catch a bear or deer, really fast) I do not use a lens cap, so the UV saves me all the time.

I don't drop lenses, but have had many front elements poked going through the woods and saved by a filter, so I guess to each his own.
