Subject: EOS Protective Filters
I recently purchased a 28-70 F2.8L and a 70-200F2.8L to go on my EOS 3
At the time, the sales guy suggested purchasing protective filters for
both.
Not being sure I ended up purchasing a Canon "protect" filter and switch
it
depending on which lens I am using.
I accept the need for protection for the front of the lens but do not
understand the difference between a protect, a skylight and a UV filter
On brands, the sales guy suggested not buying Canon but going for B+W.
These were more expensive so I was suspicious. Was I right to be?
Mostly I photograph wildlife and use Fuji Velvia and Provia films almost
exclusively.
Opinions gratefully received.

Rod,
You'll get a lot of opinions but I really like the Hoya Super Multi
Coated filters. B+W are really nice but as you noted pricey. Some
people like Heliopan. Some people are in to the Lee or Cokin system. I
would spend the money and put a high quality filter on the front of the
big glass it's well worth it.
