I really like the quality and functionality of the K&F filters, they are made with Japanese optical glass and have performed great for me! I'm sure there are Filter snobs that look down on them due to their price point but they have performed flawlessly for me. Sure doesn't hurt to give one a try for the price!!

Yes, lenses are expensive but so is everything else. No answer in sight,

If it's protection you are after, I'd suggest using a clear protection filter:

As mentioned by others, a UV filter alters hue of the image, while not adding any value when digitally processing.

I originated physics. So, yes, by nature it emenates outward from me. If you wanna describe it as "escaping", thaz fair enough.

Jeff, it seems like Skylight and UV Haze filters were generally developed for film photography as film is sensitive to those issues. Digital doesn't seem to be. That said, I ALWAYS have a filter on simply to protect my lens. Cheap insurance but I agree, don't go for a cheap (or expensive) filter. Cheap ones can have inconsistencies that may be noticeable at times in your photographs. But a nice scratch on your front element will never go away. Just my 2 cents worth.

Great quality, great pricing and made in Japan.

I have a complete set in 58mm with mounting ring if anyone is interested in them.
