Years ago, photographers stopped using UV filters on their lenses. It affected image quality way too much, and we often didn't need them. UV filters originally protected the image quality from UV rays.

But lens technology became so good, they weren't needed anymore. So they evolved to become protective filters. Essentially, if the front of your lens took a ding, the UV filter would protect it. And in the past few years, photographers just stopped using them. Indeed, when I started my career 14 years ago, I swore by UV filters. I remember them protecting my camera as it took a major tumble. But these days? Not so much. And believe it or not, clear filters can affect your image quality still. . thephoblographer.com
