p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · UV Filter or Clear Filter for protection of Lenses? | |
After getting a B&W Pro Circular Polarizer nano filter and using it this fall for some fall foliage photography, I was absolutely amazed at the difference a really good filter makes over my Canon L glass. I should have done this years ago. So I decided to get B&W Pro Nano UV filters for all of my L lenses and not take them off.
However, in reading some reviews on B&H's website, I saw that some pros were saying that with modern DSLR cameras, you don't need to get the UV filters, so you can get the B&W Pro CLEAR glass filters instead. They're a little cheaper, which I don't care so much about, but I want to make sure that this is the right decision before I change my order!
So what is better, given that the B&W filters are exactly the same except one has a UV layer and the other is completely clear glass? An important note - I don't plan to take these filters off when I use a circular polarizer!!! My understanding is that both filter types (UV or Clear) are meant to be kept on when other filters are used, such as a polarizer.
What do you think? Thanks.
Bill
