[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I can ask here and avoid the embarrassment:  I need a filter for my camera lense?  [/quote]

Not if you've got a lens hood.  If so, maybe so...

I am not very good with the hood and sometimes get the edges of it in the pictures. I much prefer the UV filter and I've never had a photo instructor not recommend such a filter as a protective measure. I've never had any sort of tinting from the filter and it gives me piece of mind. It's saved a my lenses, for sure.[/quote]

Protecting your lens with Filter vs Lens Hood is something of an photography religious war.

I am a professional photographer and I have always used a filter over my lens.  Every photographer I know and have worked with use one as well.  If you are willing to damage your lens for a smidgen more light, more power to you.  However, when I plunk down $1,500 on a lens, I fully intend to protect it at all times.  Even if you are not using the top of the line lenses, you are still going to pay a few hundred bucks for one.  Protect your gear!  [/quote]
