Travel Advice - Use a sky filter (haze) filter to protect your expensive lens.

If you own a 35mm SLR camera,  or other camera whose lens takes filters, consider buying a clear sky filter to protect the lens  from scratches, dust, and other forms of damage. Since the lens on any camera is one of its most expensive parts and the one that seems to be most often at risk, it is good insurance to buy a sky filter to protect it from damage.

• A sky filter will usually cost less than $20 and is easy to clean and use.
• Once you have installed one on the end of your camera’s lens, you simply forget it.
  • It does not need to be removed, as you can shoot pictures through it without affecting their quality.
