Protective UV and skylight filters are often used to protect the front element of a lens against moisture, dirt, and scratches, which makes them ideal for shooting in wet, dusty, or muddy environments. In the past, UV filters were also used to prevent the UV light from causing haze and fogginess in older photographic films, which were typically more sensitive to UV rays.
On the other hand, skylight filters are every photographer’s best friend when shooting under a clear blue sky. They can reduce the excessive blue cast that often appears in photographs taken outdoors. They can also keep skin tones free of color reflections from objects that are around the subject.
Keep in mind, however, that with a skylight filter as your lens’ protection, the image quality of your photos may be compromised as it can intensify lens flares that tend to add a color tint and reduce image contrast.
Most suitable for: All kinds of photography
