My new UV filter
I recently bought a UV filter for my Voigtländer Nokton lens. I’m not really interested in its UV-filtering capabilities; instead, I want it to protect my lens’ glas from damage. I usually carry my camera around my neck or shoulder without a lens cap, so some form of protection makes me feel more comfortable doing so.
I wasn’t too keen to put a piece of glas in front of the actual lens – since this could result in reflections and worse image quality in general – but so far it seems to have been working alright.
Previously, I’ve been using a lens hood for protection. But it’s kind of bulky and I think it occasionally results in black corners on the photo. And that’s why I’m currently trying this new filter instead.
