Hi All,

I just traded my M7 with 35 Cron ASPH. It comes with B+W Digital-Pro UV Filter and I believe it is not MRC.

My question is, should I buy another one which is MRC or just keep this one and use it?

The reason of using a filter is for a bit of protection only..

when the filter gets scratched up, then replace it with the MRC.

I use filters because I DON'T use a lens cap much if I'm out and about... with the rangefinders I end up with a few blank shots where I forget the cap if I do use one, so I usually just put the lens on the camera with a hood and filter, only cap it when I'm not using it.

The MRC's take a LOT longer to scratch up then the regular ones in my experience.

and yes, if you're going to use a UV, use a nice one.

(ps- I'm much less likely to use them for my SLR gear, simply because I always know when my cap is on!)
 
i keep the caps in an old pencil case, never on the lens so i too like a uv filter.
with my dslr kit, the theme is keep it cheap and so i am using somewhat cheaper filters on my nikkor lenses and so far so good.
