MT Shooter, "Also, forget large, sharp prints if you use a cheap UV filter on your lens, just not gonna happen;" are you advising us against UV filters, just cheap ones, or, "protective" filters in general? If just cheap ones, what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
I personally advise against them. I've seen videos where people have tested their ability to protect the lens (by getting old lenses, putting the UV filter on and dropping the lens on an iron rod) and they basically don't protect your lens at all. All they really do is degrade the quality of the picture. Just being careful with your camera and lens to not drop it is a much better option in my opinion.
