An ultra violet (UV) lens filter is a must-have for many photographers, and it tends to be the first type of filter that newcomers to photography buy.
A UV lens filter acts to weatherproof your lens. So, if you shoot outdoors and in environments with large amounts of UV radiation, this filter will prove invaluable. The filter can block sand, grit or other particles in the air from getting near your lens. If rain or water droplets get on your lens filter, it’s easier to wipe these off your filter than your lens. This is especially so if your lens filter has a multi-resistant coating. A UV lens filter also offers protection in windy conditions. It acts as a buffer, keeping wind borne substances such as sea spray, grit or sand from going near your lens. Certainly, if you need to take photos in any kind of weather conditions, you’ll find a UV lens filter indispensable.
A lens filter with UV properties can also protect your camera from any accidental bumps, falls or scratches. This is especially relevant if you’re out and about with your camera, climbing up mountains, scrambling over rocks or shooting by the sea.
Should you need to replace your lens filter if it gets worn or damaged, it’s much cheaper to do this than to buy a new lens. In this respect, having a UV lens filter can help to increase the lifespan of your lens.

You can even stack other filters onto the UV lens filter if you want to get creative with your photography. Plus, if you’re interested in aerial photography, this filter can prove really handy.
