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..

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.

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.
