Do people use filters on their lenses? Seems there's 2 schools of thought to filter or not to filter. I'm in the filter camp as it's better to trash a filter than a lens. Vanity part is what filter do you use? Recently I've been using Hoya Fusion filters but they look crap and clunky on Leica D-Lux 109 (a rare compact that is threaded for filters along with Panasonic LX100) and the Olympus 45mm F1.8 which has a tiny 37mm diameter filter. For those I've used the Cokin Pure Harmonie filters which are pretty much invisible and seem to work OK, and they're French & trendy.
The other day after a few Evian's followed by a snifter of Badoit my Olympus with the 17mm lens somehow had an unexplained issue with some furniture and the result was a dented lens cap & filter but the lens was OK. Sooo I think UV / lens protection filters are a good idea. Thoughts?
