Just curious: Which filter(s) lives on your lenses the most - UV, ND, polarizing, other? Also, which brand do you personally prefer?

Hoya, although, filters can be quit useless because many people are so careful with their lenses its not like they will accidentally scrape their 1,000.00 glass... Pretty hard to do that accidentally. But I usually have a UV haze just in case and to bring out those blue skies!

Also only fresh air.
Use no filter for protection, and on most lenses no lens cap. But on most lenses a hood.
Filters I use sometimes are grey and polarizers.

I got away from filters because I could not afford one good enough to not be seen by the lens. To compensate, I keep the hood on all the time. I am very carefull with my gear. Almost to a fault but, $TUFF happens. So, I keep the lens hood on unless it's gonna create a shadow.
