Chuck:
What is it about UV filters that has generated so much high blood pressure ?
I prefer to keep air borne grunge and moisture off the front element of
whatever lens I am using, as most people would I am sure, and thus any
minute distortion in the image is but a low price to pay for maintaining
lens quality.
