Cheap but no negative effects on IQ
I never had a UV filter on any of my Canon L lenses. I figured that since I paid lots of money for the lenses so why adding a $20 glass in front of it?
Until I switched to SONY. The Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 I bought recently is a 'vacuum', to prevent dust from getting from the front elements I decided to put a UV on it. It's a $1K lens so it's not a big deal if IQ get a little worse.
However, I can't tell the UV filter was there even when pixel peeping. The Colour is the same as without the UV filter, with no change in sharpness. I'm expecting to see some reflections, but it has yet to happen. Overall, I'm very impressed, easpcially consider the cost. I like it so much and bought one for every G and GM lens I have as well.
Very happy with these.
