Really UV filter affect flash/studio Pictures
Jan 17, 2012 19:02:30 #
I have read a lot, the more a read the more it confuses me. It is a learned behavior to keep an uv filter attached to the camera "for protection", but is it affecting in any way the results in studio pictures or pictures taken with flash? UV filters should be use only for landscapes?

There is really no intrinsic value in using a UV filter indoors. Outdoors they help cut the haze in the sky on a sunny day and can richen the color that has been dulled by that haze. They are often used by people as a lens protection device because a quality UV does no real harm and is economical. An optically clear filter protects as well and will not affect color cast at all, but they do cost about 50% more than a comparable UV.

I really appreciate your response. But I still want to know how uv filter can affect in studio or flash picture.

Except for the possible extra reflecting surface it will not affect flash exposures. It will slightly affect the color cast of flourescent lights, but for the better.

MT,
I have never had a problem with it, that filter has never left the lens. I do a lot of studio work.

George,
At no point did I ever say it was a problem. Just unnecessary, but never a detriment. Protection is always a good thing.

I'm lazy about lenscaps, so the UV filter is always on. I don't think I have ever seen a problem with indoor/studio shots.
