Digital camera reviews of Hoya 77mm HMC UV Digital Multi-Coated Slim Frame Glass Filter
Digital camera Review: A quality UV filter for your lens
Summary: 5 Stars
A bargain-basment priced filter may not be the best choice when used on an expensive lens. Your optics are only as good as the weakest link and if you have a second-rate filter in front of your expensive lenses, you may regret your purchase due to optical distortion, poor quality coating or mismatched threads.
I did not buy this for any UV reasons, but simply as a layer of protection for my $1700 lens. It has already spared me from getting my lens splashed by mist from a waterfall I was taking photos of. And I'm sure it will protect my lens from other unknown things in the future.
It's kind of similar to wearing a seatbelt when you drive. You may never really need it, but if it saves you just one time, it's worth it. I'd be a lot more sad if my $1700 lens got hit with something than if my relatively inexpensively priced Hoya filter gets trashed by a flying projectile.
As others have mentioned, be sure to get the multi-coated filter if you have a multi-coated lens.
