Ideal for general lens protection
With modern DSLR cameras, there is a lot of debate as to whether UV filters are of any use. I'm in the camp that says there are definite benefits. First, there are arguments that the UV filter can protect the sensor in your camera from long-term UV degradation. Second, a good quality filter provides a layer of protection for the front of your camera lens. I was shooting in a very windy location and a door caught the wind and banged the front of my lens before I could get a hold of it. I was lucky that the hit wasn't worse, but the lens got a small chip on the front plastic. This filter is metal, screws directly on, and will protect the front of the lens from such damage in the future. The lens could still be damaged in other ways, but it's a layer of protection from those unexpected bumps. In the future, if the lens gets bumped and the filter destroyed, I'll be grateful that the filter took the hit instead of the lens. The filter is much cheaper to replace!
