In Reply to: UV/Skylight filters posted by Joe Murphy Jr on August 25, 2001 at 18:12:53:
You just mentioned two fine filters, the HOYA Super-Multicoat filters and B+W Multicoat filters. I use both and they seem to be equally good as far as optical quality. I prefer the Hoya due to the thinner frame (better for use with wide angle lenses). B&W makes a narrow frame filter but you must pay extra for some reason. Nikon makes great filters as well (somewhere in price between the Hoya & B&W). I'm a Canon shooter but I like Nikon filters because they are excellent, multicoated and very thin (Canon filters are merely repackaged cheap Tiffens). I believe the L37C is their UV filter. The main problem with Nikon filters is they only come in a few sizes.Skylight and UV filters are almost the same thing: they both filter the blue end of the spectrum (UV). The UV filter has a slightly stronger effect than the skylight. The filter effect will be most apparent with slide film.
Whatever filter you choose, get the best possible multicoated filter you can afford so as not to degrade the image.
