Hi,
I have always used a UV-filter on my film cameras. When I moved on to the digital format, I still put the Filter on the lens to protect it. However, I've heard that putting any extra glass in front of the lens will degrade the final image. I have tested it and it's correct, the UV-filter degrades the image just a little bit. so I thought about putting "Protective filter" on the lens. However, this should also degrade the image (haven't tested it).
The lens hood should provide good protection, however wiping the lens front glass so often - wouldn't that eventually destroy the protective lens coating which the glass is covered with? Much easier with a Filter, I can just buy a new one.....
