Hi. I was hoping someone may know something about UV filters. I recently purchased a couple UV filters for my cams. I heard it is a good idea to use them as a lens protector. I also heard they reduce glare. Sounds good to me, but I as wondering if they effect the picture in any other way like blocking out certain rays resulting in a less saturated image? I thought I remember something about that. Is there a reason why I would not want to use UV protection? Thanks, -Jeff :-)
