The only reason I use them (UV) is the age-old one--*protection*.  Though I treat my lenses like a new-born baby, I'd rather have my (cheap) "sacrificial" flat glass (filters) take the foreign object damage "hit" than my precious curved glass lenses...  That's all.

I’m the same about protecting the lens front, but I prefer nothing in front of the actual front element. A lens hood is better in that regard.

The earlier versions use the extendable FIKUS hood; the later versions with the 39mm filter thread use a clip-on 12575 hood.

OK.  I'll pursue a FIKUS.  Thank you!
