RF 50mm f1.2 users (and probably EF version as well), do you use a protective filter on it?

As a definitive answer, RF 50L's manual says that a front filter is required to achieve weather sealing.

With that out of the way, I do use a filter on my RF 50L, even though I rarely if ever use it outdoors. This was originally just out of habit, but these days I have found it absolutely necessary, because my primary subject is toddler who loves playing with her daddy's shiny toys. So far she has succeeded in putting her fingerprints all over my EF-M 22mm and 32mm; she hasn't managed to touch the 50L yet, but I'm not taking any chances. Oh, did I mention she drools on everything?
