Digital BW, The Print

A UV filter does nothing more then provide a cover for the front element of the lens. Its only use is to keep the front element clean. A low quality UV filter can actually degrade the sharpness of the lens. Personally I never use a UV filter, a waste of money. Be careful with your lenses and  a UV filter is un necessary.

Subject: [Digital BW] UV/IR Filter Ok on Film Camera?


























    

                  
I recently acquired a Leica lens that came with a UV/IR filter. I understand that this filter is for use with a digital camera. Is there any problem with using it as a UV filter when I shoot black and white film? Thanks. Paula
