kivis Posted July 9, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since time immemorial, I have placed UV filters on all my lenses (B+W brand). Over time they get tiny spots on the filter that won't wipe off. It does not seem to effect the photos that I take. Should I be concerned? Is it time to replace the offending filter?

charlesphoto99 Posted July 9, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2022 Are you sure those tiny spots aren't fungus, esp as seeing your location is tropical? If that's the case, then yes, definitely throw them away. Otherwise it's been proven that one can have quite a bit of gunk BEFORE the lens and it won't affect the image quality much.

Aryel Posted July 9, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 9, 2022 If it looks like fungus then I’d throw them away. If not, I’d try to clean them with a lens pen first. if you have fungus on your filters, you may want to check the lenses as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
