DSLR Shots and Discussions

How do y'all feel about UV filters? Use them for lens protection, don't use them at all? Notice a difference in IQ or can't tell any difference?

All of my lenses have B+W UV MRC filters. They are there mainly for protection.

Your probably going to get mixed responses on this. I never use filters for protection. IMO its just another piece of glass that can possibly effect sharpness. Not sure if my big lenses even support a filter in the front to be honest? It would likely be expensive at that diameter I'd think..

The pros are still out to lunch on this debate stemming back to the SLR days. both have pro and cons and a little search -google on some of more renowned forums will keep your cup of tea refilling for hours.

Meh...UV until recently now Skylight , both give a different hue on skyline. Matter of preference.

Oh....and what beats B&W is Heliopan or any glass with Zeiis 's named stamped on it. Both make B&W seem like wal-fart quality....better BMW {bring more wallet) though, All a matter of opinion.

Yup.
I'm on photography specific forums, and I did do a Google search, but thanks for the suggestions.
Since we have a photography specific thread in here, I though I would see what my Z brothers had to say on the topic.
