Good advice, and such a basic part of photography I wonder why Canon
see lens hoods as mere "extras".
I started out (duff advise from dealers) with protect filters on all
my lenses. Now I only use them when circumstances dictate: sea
spray, extreme dust etc. They *do* degrade the image and undo some of
the benefits of paying for good lenses in the first place. The
reality: there are a few circumstances where fitting one might
protect the front element. I will live with that. I'm more likely to
lose the whole lens to damage anyway.
Lens hoods: use em.
