Filters / 18.2 - Clear

UV, haze, and skylight filters are useful for protecting the lens.

Some pundits claim that these filters degrade the quality of photographs.

Bunk.

Because lenses already have UV filters inside, UV filters don't block any more UV light than what is already blocked by the lens.

Haze and skylight filters may have a light pink tint for removing the blue color of the atmosphere.
