   To reply to your suggestion that you don't use a UV (or any filter for that
   matter) to protect a lens my answer is BULL! I may not be quite as 
   professional as some of you out there may be, with your thousands of dollars
   invested in equipment, but I think I have a pretty good camera outfit. And
   I am certainly no klutz but... after an accident a couple of weeks ago that
   was almost fatal to my  zoom lens, I gladly paid the $10 to get a new filter
   as opposed to several hundred dollars to get a new lens.

   Accidents do happen and a little insurance eventually pays for itself.
