Wouldn't a more logical solution be to use a lens hood? No image quality degradation, no increase in CA, and it's MORE protected from fall damage most of the time, and they're even cheaper to replace, not to mention what they were designed for, getting rid of harsh flare and sunlight!
@dylrock100 its more about what settings you use on your camra, i reccomend a wide angle lens (for tips on shooting sunsets (search: how to set up camra for sunsets)). hope i helped
Why would you put a cheap UV filter on an expensive lens? You are degrading sharpness, introducing chromatic aberration, multiplying flare enormously, robbing yourself of contrast, and setting yourself up for some bad reflections. Also, cheap filters use cheap glass, which breaks and scratches a lot easier than a tough front element. When this filter breaks, it can really damage your front element as it sends glass shards flying into it, whereas it would have been fine naked, as it's recessed.
You get a free pass, because your not from around here. But this is how we role. We doin it dirty.
Cheap glass? unless your getting tempered or boro filters, i dont know how your going to avoid wear from normal use.
Flying glass? In a case where the filter were broken at such force as to send glass "flying," i think the offending object would be so close to the lens as to make its coming into contact with the front element inevitable regardless.
@KEBokeh how much are micro-fiber cloths?

Filter appears to be gray market, the box had no name. Likely produced in the same chinese factory that makes much higher cost filters.
Try the link in the "more info" section to proove the justice of our culture.
