What are people's thoughts here on using lens filters for protection? Like say a UV filter from B+W or Heliopan. Or other good company. (any suggestions here)
From reading on some forums I see people are kinda split. Some hate it cause they say it can cause flare effects and degrade photo quality. Others swear by it and put on right out of the box, to prevent scratches and make it easier to clean off dust.
Also what do you guys with nice DSLR's use to clean your lens'?
Oh, if there is a thread already started for this, link me to it.
