Is the message clearer now to all you "UV-filter-is-a-must-have" worrying Nancies??????? Can you believe the deliberate abuse that cheap Canon 50 took,without so much as a scratch or chip????

This makes me cringe!

[misstwinklytoes]

It was impressive, lol. I seriously was watching just tensed up waiting for glass to shatter.

That's it no more UV filters for me.

Thanks icassell, that's the one I was thinking about.

I think he does finally ding the lens with the hammer claws: look close about 1:20 into the video.

I'm thinking it's an edited video somehow as a joke with sound effect after seeing that! Amazing if it's not.

I know I won't be the one to test that theory! ^^ LOL

I use UV filters not because I am afraid it will scratch, I use them because I don't want the original lens coating to collect dust which I then have to clean. It's a lot easier and less worrying to just clean the UV filter.

Ok so if you plan on hitting your lens with a hammer then maybe invest in a filter...
