Human eyes can't see it, so why worry about it?
Even though you can't see light in the UV (ultraviolet) spectrum, some digital and film cameras in some situations do see it; and what you might get is a bluish haze in pictures taken in the presence of UV light. UV filters, also variously called skylight or haze filters, are transparent to visible light; but absorb UV without changing photographic exposure settings. UV filters add subtle warmth (meaning more shades of red) by reducing the bluish cast that can appear in pictures of distant landscapes, on heavily overcast days, in open shade, or in shots at high altitudes (on mountain tops) and from high altitudes (in aircraft). Any serious photographer needs this high quality optical glass filter from Lenmar.
Should I keep a UV filter on my lens all the time?
You can, but you might not want to. There are those who say a filter is cheap insurance against scratches, dust, and grease on your lens; but others say, unless you're shooting in saltwater spray or a sand storm, why risk potential reflections from two more glass surfaces. A lens hood gives good protection when you're actually taking pictures, and a lens cap is the best protection when you're not. So whatever your reason for wanting a UV filter, this Lenmar is the one to get.
