It was just a guess if I'm being honest  :signLOL:  UV filters can result in odd effects on images (especially in the out of focus areas, resulting in grainy bokeh), so I usually suggest that people don't use them unless its a top quality one or when a lens hood is not available. I don't even use my B+W filter anymore, i just use the hood all the time (which if good practice anyway)

Thanks for the advice.  :happy2:

No probs.... the 70-200 F4IS is a ridiculously good lens, much sharper than the 2.8IS. *lens envy* Nice to see it being put to good use!  :happy2:

Hmm, if you drop a lens (it does happen!) it's usually the first element that gets broken and if you have a filter (such as UV or skylight) then that's far cheaper to replace!

However, it's important to use prime brand filters. So if you have a Nikon lens then get a Nikkor filter - No other will do! You don't put cheap brand tyres on a performance car do you.

A filter also keeps your lens free from inevitable grease, contaminents etc and is easier to clean.

Obviously a lens hood provides some protection, but.
