Since price is not a concern, just go into Cathay Photo and demand: "What is the MOST EXPENSIVE & BEST B+W filter you have for my camera?" :bsmilie:

For digital cameras, i dun see how skylight or not will greatly affect the shots.

Film users use skylight filters (different levels of skylight, different warmth etc) to add variations to the results, from warming to cooling.

But for digital users, all this can easily be adjusted by digital means, so you just basically need a good strong clear filter to take of the lens element.

B+W UV 010
Ultraviolet light, which manifests itself in photographs as reduced clarity and the appearance of haze, is blocked by the UV 010. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the eye and is strong in mountainous and coastal areas with very clear air. This makes the colorless UV 010 an indispensable filter because it requires no exposure compensation. It is recommended as an ideal filter to be kept permanently on the lens to protect the front element. Filter factor is 1.0.

So does it means that skylight filter does not protect the lens from uv ray?
Thanks

Also, does skylight filter allow less light into the lens?

Thanks
