Mirror Cameras

Hi there . If there already isn't a topic about cameras just delete this one i made.
So lets chat about any time of cameras, canon , nikon etc.
I personally have an Canon EOS 20D with the original canon EFS 18-55mm , using an HOYA 58mm UV(0) filter on it, it's great. also an TAMRON SP AF Aspherical XR Di LD (IF) 28-75mm 1:2.8 MACRO, using for macro shots .
I am not a PRO photo taker so i don't have my equipment really pro, it's decent.
i like to take photos of nature, little animals: bugs, spiders.
also of beautiful dogs. i really enjoy taking macro shots and photos with some actual meaning.I've been having this for 6 months actually only, so i'm quite amateur with positioning and everything else. Discuss you're equipment and also post ur favourite pictures or you're own pictures you like. I will be posting some here soon

Well, yeah. Pro's doesn't use UV filters. They they know why were UV filters made for.
Can You explain why?

umm it's made to prevent UV light from coming through . used in sunscreens to protect skin or in photography to reduce haziness(idk if spelled right) or fogginess created by ultraviolet light. It's transparent to the visible light so i can use it for nearly every shot i take . I also use it for protection for the lens

Your lens doesn't put through the UV on the normal land level (<4000m), cause they aren't made from quartz.

It's the most stupid think you could do. Remember that every one "glass" between sensor and light is lowering your resolution. There are more problems you can have with it.My lens is 3y old, and I don't see any scratches or anything

And i was using it at snow, in low rain, fog etc. etc. ^^ Just dipatch it, and forgot you ever had the UV filter.
