i\'m a big fan of protective filters, especially when canon says that they\'re necessary to complete the environmental sealing of the lens - like with the 24-105.

Which is sort of silly if you shoot with a camera body that is not sealed, no? The OP uses a 450D...
And doubly silly if you don\'t shoot in environments that create the sorts of risks that sealing might resolve.
If you shoot in those environments a lot, get a 1-series body and seal you lenses on those occasions when necessary. But even there, remove the filter when you don\'t need it.
