    So I now have the 24-105mm f/4.0L which I absolutely love. I wanted to ask for any of you who own the lens. What do you guys think about removing the UV filter while shooting?

    I'm going to leave it while shooting on the Pier or Jetty do to salt water spray or sand but would you agree that you can lose sharpness, lose contrast, have autofocus issues and cause flare in photos?

    Should I remove it completely while doing portraits or shooting street?

    I got a UV filter and a circular polarizer for it with the purchase. I also have the hood which is enough protection from bumps.

    Thanks!

    • I never shoot without a filter, simply for the protection.albums
    • don't think you need to. in any case UV filter should reduce the flare. or reduce the haze in the sky.pango
