Angle Lens Filter

Why to use a UV filter in a Digital Camera?

I have recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel XSi digital camera with two 18/55mm and 55/250mm lens with it. I would like to know if it is better if I were to buy a UV filter and use it or it is not required? I have also purchased a wide angle lens which I will attche to the 18/55mm lens to get a better wide angle . Do I need a UV filter over it ? Please advise.

It has much more to do with protecting the front element of your lenses than the little enhancement the UV can give to shots taken outdoors.

Replacing a $40 filter is cheap and easy. Having the front element of a lens repaired is expensive and takes time while the lens is visiting the Canon repair station.

Each lens you own should have some kind of filter on it; UV, skylight or clear glass … your choice.

Cheap add-on lenses don’t need a protective filter … the filter may cost more than the lens in some cases.
