As of now, I only have the kit lense and 40-150mm for the e300. Wondering what kind of uv filters to buy for them? Care to share?

NMSS_2 said:get at least a B+W or hoya HMC uv filter. ask the retailer to show you the difference between normal hoya and the HMC or B+W type, you be amazed at the difference.

tao said:may I know what exactly is the kind of difference we are talking about here?
and if we compare between normal filter, HMC/B+W filter and NO filter, which will give you the best results in outdoor daylight shooting?
tao said:thanks for the info.
but what abt those Hoya adverts that claims the HMC UV filter improves image contrast, blah, blah blah? fact or myth?

chancy said:Hello Hedger,
If I may offer an alternate view. For myself, other than filters for use with monochrome film (Yellow, Orange, Red), I leave non mounted on my lenses. For protection (partial), that job goes to the lens cap & the hood. While this isn't foolproof, for subjects such as still life, candid or portrait, there's little need for UV filters, lest you take photos at high altitudes.
Modern lenses have coatings that are hard wearing, it's alright to clean them as & when needed.
As with most advice, your requirements drive your purchases
Cheers,
