Leica lenses: UV filter or not?

...
As for micro scratches and the likes degrading image quality. I suppose it may be quantifiable. But whether or not it is remotely noticeable, may be another matter. Lensrentals did a blog post some time ago giving an idea of how badly a front element can be damaged and still produce usable images. Of course you never want it to go to that extreme. 🙂....

What else you would expect from rent for profit? "The lens is trash, but we still charge you".

Hood and filter for the last forty years. Destroyed filters and bent hoods but never damaged a lens. Nuff said.
