JimAskew Cream of the Crop  More info | B+W UV filters on all my glass. Not cheap but they do not impact IQ as far as I can determine. Jim -- I keep the Leica D-Lux 7 in the Glove Box just in case!

I voted ND which is really GND, but that was not an option. A very close second would be a polarizing filter. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I gave up the UV "protective" filters when I started using real filters and having to remove and store the UV filter became a hassle.

I think the question is "When you do have a filter on, what filter is it?" That question is different from the "Do you use a filter all the time or not?" debate. No? Not sure why, but call me JJ.
