I can't remember where I read about UV filters being used as insurance for your lenses. However since then, I've always had one on each of my lenses. Even for the lenses on my smallest, 1-inch sensor cameras.
Because there are few things worse in photography than having to replace a lens that you broke because you dropped it. Or smashed the lens against something in the field. And while a UV filter can't protect the entire lens from damage, it can certainly save the front lens elements on many occasions. All other lens elements are protected by the lens body, so why leave the front element exposed to potential damage?. thephoblographer.com
