Filters

Joe,

Use filters to modify image color. Use lens caps and hoods for protection. Seems there are strong feelings both ways, but I can't advocate placing 2 more glass/air interfaces between the subject and the film for any reason. I was born and raised at the Jersey shore and have never lost a lens to salt spray and I abandoned skylight filters long ago.

The small amount of UV (BTW, UV is not light)you could filter has little impact on the final print quality. Too many other factors which can impact print quality/color. Most helpful with transparency films as other poster suggests.

If you do intentionally wish to add some warmth to pics, consider a filter such as an 81A.

Cheers, Bill
