Just mooching about on the web and I came across this which may bring a bit of enlightenment to those of you who put a uv filter on the front of your lens. I know it's extreme ( and they say that tbf) but it does go to show, you get what you pay for!

I don't use a filter as tests I did wayyy back showed me that even a goodfilter affected image quality, I do have to be very carefull but I think its worth it.

By the time you put all those filters on it would be dark!  :2funny:

Interesting and reassuring just how much detail still came through, seeing as I always have a UV stuck on the front of my macro lenses (too much pushing through undergrowth to rely on just the lens hoods) - all my other lenses are naked (apart from occasional CP or ND Fader use!) but always with lens hoods
Whatever and ever. Amen
