But I perceived a big difference on my Canon 16-35mm L III. I had a UV filter on it and dropped my camera, lens and all. Shattered the filter and it took me a while to get the remnants off and order a new one. During that time, I felt like I had to wipe the lens off every time I took the lens cap off to shoot. I am just a hobby photographer and shoot mostly when I travel. I like capturing the sky a lot, so it is easy to spot dust on the lens and have made a habit of checking my first shot.

First it protects the lens from dirt, sand, grime and my fingerprints. We were taught 30 years ago to never touch a lens glass or a mirror if you can help it. It\u2019s safer to clean a filter than a lens. I have lenses that have never been wiped. I just blow off the dust. But the ultimate test was when I used a cheap tripod with my Mamyia RB 67 camera ( a very heavy camera) in the 1980s. The tripod head broke off when I had it tilted forward. The camera and the 90mm lens hit face down on the concrete. When I picked it up, the filter was cracked like a cob web. My heart was in my throat. I tried to unscrew the filter and it wouldn\u2019t budge. I had a pair of wide gap pliers and I turned steady but slow and it came off. The lens glass was untouched with no damage. The filter ring had no apparent damage. I took a cloth and wiped it down and then ran my fingers around it and it was smooth. I threw the damaged filter in the trash, and went into my camera bag and found another one and put it on. I went out and purchased a bogen 3030 tripod which I used for the next 25 years until I bought my RRS. I will never be without a filter on all lenses and will always have a quality tripod.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\u0022links-wrapper

It has much more mass and as you adjust the focusing or zoom, the lens will breathe in that moisture. I am much more worried about that than moisture on the front element or filter which can be wiped off.. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf a $30 filter on a $2,000 lens bothers you, what kind of wipers are you putting on your $35,000 car? If you are really worried about the quality, do a test with and w\/o the filter. Try some pixel peeping and check how much difference there is. Make it fun and have a friend take the shots and you guess which had the filter.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI use a UV filter on an old lens I have. The coating appears inconsistent so I use it for piece of mind. If using a filter gives you peace of mind, go for it.
