For years, Michael has been one of the loudest critics against "UV filters". Why? From Michael himself:"Of all the photography accessories I know of, UV filters are probably the one that is exploited more than any on unsuspecting new camera owners. There is a time and place for these filters, but they aren't always what's being told to those without the knowledge to know better."Here are some truths other filter manufacturers won't tell you:- Digital Sensors do not capture UV light.

They will be useful for film cameras, however.- UV filters offer very little physical impact protection. In what is probably the best study of UV filters in the history of the internet, Steve Perry did a series of tests giving some pretty good data that if UV filters offer any impact protection, it is negligible. Filter hoods give far greater impact protection.- L
