Skylight filters?

[ClaremontPhoto]

I am just about to buy a new lens.

In the past I have always put on a skylight filter for protection. Most recently A B+W KR-1.5.

Is this needed? Or do you use the lens as is without a protection filter?

There is a poll, here, on that very subject. I expect the 129 replies should just about cover all angles

oscroft: Many thanks. I'll look through that.
