Nice bitchy comment there for no reason, you should rename yourself after an aperture. I've used many filters, just not UV ones, they don't do anything to benefit as far as I'm concerned. You might think they do, good for you, I didn't quote you btw, I was following up on woof's post. Just saying aloud ... The last bit of your post makes zero sense, how is not using filters anything like chicken-egg? enlighten me.
You're quick to cmment on any post I make in here Ray, but when I respond to you in other threads don't say boo ... Is this your safe place?
Example: i was the only one to add a sensible comment to your Dublin thread but you couldn't be arsed replying because it wasn't challenging, but helpful
Now if anyone had been more polite and asked 'why not?' - well, this explains it better than I could:

The only good reason to use UV filters nowadays is for physical protection. I have never scratched a lens in 30 odd years doing photography. If you're using them for that purpose because you do knock a lens occasionally then why not, the better ones don't degrade IQ - but if you're not the type that bangs your lenses off of stuff randomly, then they are kinda pointless.
