UV lens filter
What do you guys think of a $10-20 UV filter for my new DSLR lens? Is it a good idea?

I bought a filter (I think) that screws onto my DSLR lens. I went back and forth, but the lady who was selling it said that she recommended it because I could always remove it if it didn't work with my shot, it didn't mess with the image too much, and it provided affordable scratch-proofing for the lens. In her words "Would you rather place a $15 filter, or an entire lens?" For me, it made more sense to buy the filter and remove it when needed.

UV filters are a case of you get what you pay for -- cheaper ones can dull images. Check out this article to see the difference:

Very interesting ladies! I thought a $20 filter was a no-brainer if it protected my lens but it also seemed hard to believe it wouldn't impact image quality. I guess it does. Well, the one I bought doesn't fit so it will be returned. The question is whether to invest in the more expensive filter or just take my chances? Hmmm.

So my final answer is how lucky do you feel, and would it be terrible if you had to replace a lens, or not a big deal?
