Subject: RE: quick question about protective filters
My philosophy is to use CAPS for protection and remove them when taking photos and replace them when finished. A metal screw in CAP will give better protection than a filter will, and using no filter cannot degrade image quality like using a filter could.
My philosophy is much the same as yours.
My problem is that I always am losing lens caps, so half the time, I have nothing covering my lenses.
I only use a filter when it will give an effect that I want, such as increased local contrast in a black and white, or polarizing the light or some such.
