I don't want to ruin my expensive piece of glass on my trip - where it can get dusty.

At the same time, I don't want the image quality to suffer. I was looking at this filter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OR15LS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

This is 070 coating as opposed to 010. The 010 introduces a blueish hue, I am told while the 070 doesn't.

What do you guys think?

Thanks as always!

If you have not looked at "Ice" filters. take a look. I used to purchase B+W but recently I have been using Ice. Ice filters are equally great in quality and build type.
