Originally posted by Clockwork I am thinking of getting a new prime lens for my K-50 what are your opinions on filters, I am thinking of either getting a UV Haze filter or clear glass filter. Which would you recommend or would you suggest something else, perhaps no filters?.
For a digital camera, you will want to get a multicoated clear glass filter. UV was helpful for film only.
Agree with others that diligent use of a lens hood is best, and if you're going to use a polarizer or ND filter, do not stack them with the clear filter.
I have a clear filter, but often remove them depending on the environment and the lighting. They are more problematic with wide angle primes or with small apertures. I never use a clear filters indoors and I am more likely to use them on non-WR primes where there is moisture in the air or potential condensation conditions.
What prime are you considering?
