All my lenses get a B+W clear 007 protect filter. Not cheap, but worth it.

B+W vs heliopan? Thoughts?

Last time I looked, Heliopan does not offer a clear filter like B+W's 007. They offer a "UV" filter (B+W equivalent 010) that has a faint yellowish brownish tint. Why shoot through colored glass when what you (everyone?) wants is clear?

This is indeed a common mistake, UV filters are pointless for digital cameras, and often introduce a color cast. Best to take a clear filter in this case, equivalent to the b+w 007.
