Do I need a new lens cap if I put a filter on an X100S?

A filter degrades the image. A little thin piece of glass does not protect the lens element. If something occurs which could damage the lens element it shatters the filter and pushes jagged shards against the lens. You have three surfaces to clean instead of one. A filter is OK if it does something for your like a polarizer, when it is needed. Even a clear filter has a purpose if you are shooting in a sandstorm. Otherwise take it off. Keep your lens cap. It is way more protective than a filter. Just don't take the cap off while being shot at with blow guns.
Nonsense...although technically correct about degradation...unless you are the most extreme of all pixel peepers, you will detect no degradation. Don't be a pixel peeper, be a photographer!
