Filters.

Do you have any? Do you use them? If so what for?

Is there much point in them?

yes, sometimes, CPL when reflections are an issue, grad/nd if needed otherwise I don't use them

I would say 90% of my shots are filterless.

UV on all of my lenses thus far, mostly for additional protection to the front element, doubtful that using a UV filter actually does fuck all to the image.

Ah yeh. Pretty much what I thought.

Seem very application specific, and you need to have the right one at the right time for it.

Might pick some up for a play around, if I find them real cheap.

When I buy a lens, I buy a filter for it at the same time. Just clear UV ones.

As soon as that lens is out of the box, on goes the filter, never to be removed.
