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

In this case I'm asking specifically for protection from tiny dust entering the crack of the lens (this 50 1.2 has an open barrel that provides access to the exposed moving front element). For most lenses where the front element stays in place I have no such worries. Thanks anyway.

From Canon's literature:

"For reliable performance even when weather conditions get difficult, the RF 50mm F1.2 L USM lens features dust- and water-resistant construction in the lens mount, switch panel and all rings."

Canon specifically says it is dust sealed, so I would take them at their word.
