Hoya Skylight
Filters, Skylight, UV filters… worthwhile..?
I’m new to photography, and I’m researching protection of my lenses, at this stage. I’ve read about filters, skylights and the like, and I have a few questions on these things…
1) Are these things primarily for the protection of the lens from foreign objects, to avoid scratches and such, or are they to shield the lens from glare, uv rays, and reflective surfaces that may affect the quality of the shot..??
2) I’ve read that Hoya filters are the best, but everyones opinion differs. I’m more concerned with the safety of my camera, and the quality of my shots, than cost of the filters, so which filters would you recommend, if any..??
3) Should I have a filter for each of my lenses, and leave the filters on each of the lenses, all the time..??
Thank you for your time and knowledge. 
Since I own lenses that are 35 years old and have perfect front elements because they have been protected with a UV or Skylight filter, I am a “True Believer” in using them.
With film, a Skylight filter is used to remove the bluish cast found in open shade and in snow scenes. I really can’t say if one is needed for digital cameras.
Buy a UV or Skylight filter for every lens you own. Take it off indoors when using flash and outdoors when using a polarizer.
I also recommend using a lens hood indoors and out. Outdoors it helps reduce flare from extraneous light sources; indoors and outdoors it offers additional protection for your lens.
I own filters from B+W, Hoya and Tiffen. Heliopan and Singh-Ray are also excellent brands.
