Re: Thank you. I did some more research...

As I mentioned above, the effect of either the UV or skylight filters is so weak you will barely notice it (a true warming filter is a different story). Thus, most people use these filters mainly as front element protectors. I use a UV filter and a lens hood at all times for protection. I shoot at or near the beach most of the time so salt spray is a real threat (my sun glasses and hair become stiff with salt after a couple of hours). Thus, you clean the filter rather than the lens. I've broken several filters due to drops or blows to the lenses and the hood/filter combo saved my glass!
