Filter Dslr Camera
Do you think a UV filter for a camera is necessary?
I've got a DSLR camera, only just got it, i'm not a complete beginner I know the basics but I was just wondering if buying a UV filter for my lens is completely necessary. I don't want to spend money on things that are too advanced for my skill or that i'm not going to use properly...I use the camera every day (started a photography course at college) with probably 50% of it outside.
Do you think I should invest in one? Will use of the camera in prolonged sunlight damage the lens?
Thanks
I keep a UV(0) on all of my lenses for no other reasons than to offer it a slight buffer in case it gets hit and to help keep dirt/dust/smudges off of the actual lens.
Fhotoace has a good image of a lens that got hit and the only damage done to it was a broken filter which is easily replaced (as opposed to having to send a lens off to get the front element replaced)
