The filter currently on my cron came with a lens I bought a while ago. I don't like using uv filters, but I also want to keep the images as original as possible cuz adding colored filters would add more contrast. Thanks

Go for a proper lens hood - will work much better than an additional piece of glass on the uncoated lens.

If you already have the lens hood, and don't like filters, why are you asking us if you should keep the filter?

Get a filter for that lens for protection and UV light.

Get a B+W Protection filter. I've never liked UVs--they change the light.

No kidding.

He got booted from rangefinderforum.com because he non stop posted threads like this, over and over again, w/o paying any attention to what was being said. Then deleted the threads after some people genuinely put a lot of time into giving him thoughtful replies.

I see he has taken his trade here....

Every one of my lenses has a UV or Skylight filter for warming, haze reduction and protection.
