I use filters to control aspects of the image at the time the photo is taken.What’s the purpose of using filters?
NB23 was beaten up with his own camera by an old lady who didn't like to be photographed without permission.
The front element would not have shattered like that. You just introduced a bunch of broken glass into your bag, your lens and maybe your camera but definitely into your life.
I don't use filters. Just lens hoods if I feel like being shady.
I have always had a UV filter fitted to all my lenses (when I shot professionally) because if the lens takes an impact, the filter gets it first.
Though cases are imaginable were a smashed filter has worse effect on the lens than same hit on the plain front element.
