To be clear, this isn't a thread for is it worth it/does it cause image softness, as all that info is already on these boards.

My question is related to the specific type of UV filter to get. I was looking at the B+W pro filters, specifically the B+W 72mm 010M XSP MRC NANO UV-HAZE Filter XS-PRO (according to the listing on Amazon).

There are quite a few types I've noticed (never looked into them before as I've not needed one until now) that have various strengths of filtering. All I want it for is to provide a seal and protect the front element for some photos I've got planned in a dusty environment on my 85/35/100L lenses.

Is the above the right one to purchase as essentially all I want is an unaffected image with no worries of scratching on the lens?

I don't buy it for the UV protection. I buy it for accidental protection. :)

Yes, this is what I want it for, just to protect, not affect :)

I was chatting to my dad the other night and bizarrely in his run up to retirement he's decided to start playing with RC helicopters along with coaching archery again. I thought my hobbies were expensive! During our chat, we started reminiscing about when we used to go down Holsley lane in Marford to race RC cars, and I often won :)

I had this Grashopper (not my image, linked from the TJDmodels):

I upgraded it to a larger motor than the standard. We also discovered that it's tyres were better than the Hornet/Frog tyres and that the AA battery pack for the servos added weight at the front for more control, so I won more :D

Anyway, I think I'll be reliving my 27 years ago, childhood and thought I'd take photos of that and my dads helicopter fashion when I pop down at Christmas :D
