All,
I am seeking opinions regarding the use of skylight filters on a digital SLR.
Pros:
- They keep junk off the lens
- The metal ring provides protection as well
Cons:
- Good ones are costly
- A friend once dropped a camera, had the filter shatter and scratch the lens. He since swore off filters, but uses a ring
- They can potentially introduce optical problems
Your thoughts?
p.s. I have purchased some decent lenses - they all cost >$500 apiece.
