Hi i read online that for protective filters one can use either a UV filter or a Skylight filter. I have no idea which one is better and what are they like. Can anyone advise me on this?
thanx!
thanx!
UV filter might actually benefit if you are one of those who likes to climb mountains and take high-altitude pics from there.
Not really. Almost all modern lenses are already uv-resistant.
Well, I still see this recommendation in other places. Hmm... anyway, this leads to the question: are skylight or clear filters cheaper? If so, does that mean all those who bought UV filters have been fooled when they could have bought cheaper alternatives just for protection sake?

Skylight is useless in digital era, a change in White Balance does the same.
Yes, from perspective of "feature for money" a pure clear filter does the same protective job, provided it also comes with the same coating as the UV. But for the same (or less) money you can also get a branded / original lens hood. Best protection when combined with alertness and care.
Yup. Best of course is when almost all your lenses come with the hood for free.
