I like to use a UV filter on each lens to protect the front glass. I'm now
shopping for an 86mm filter, and it's hard to find a top-end (Contax, Pentax,
Heliopan, B+W, or Hoya SHMC), multicoated UV filter in that size, in used
condition (and thus at a used price).
I can get a used Contax clear "protection filter" (model 86 P) at a good price
($31). It has no UV protection, but according to the Adorama listing (New), it
is multicoated. I am taking this on faith, because I can't find it confirmed
anywhere else, including Kyocera's site. In 86mm, a new Contax Protection
filter costs abotu $8 less the UV filter.
This will be for my Vivitar 24-48/3.8, for which I just placed an order.
If I get the clear filter instead of UV, what will I be missing? Will my
outdoor shots be any less sharp?
Can anyone confirm that the Contax Protection filters are multicoated?
