Totally agree. I don't use screen protector on my phone either. I like the nice
pristine look. Going on two years with galaxy S7 and screen looks good as new.
I have broken two phones. Screen protector did nothing, it just makes the
screen ugly.
I have always said the best lens protection you can do is a lens hood. Most are
plastic and absorb a shock. Lens "protection" filter just muddies the optics.
More often than not you bang the camera on the corner of the lens anyway - lens
hood protects, filter does not. Not sure where the UV protection filter
religion began. I have banged my camera around, never damaged a lens but do
have scratched lens hoods. I dropped an OM with lens + metal hood once. Hood
was bent but that was it. Filters are for flitering.
