lens filters

[Tui]

Out of curiosity I took some photos with an R6 and RF 24-105mm f.4L lens. With a cheap Hoya UV filter on, and without, no other variables. I can see hardly any difference when looking at full zoom! Can you tell which is which here? I'm a bit rough with my camera gear so for me it justifies using a filter for protection

Well, all these photos were taken indoor, you hardly have any UV anyway. Try shooting a couple of photos at bright daylight, probably pointing towards the sun.

Yes, I thought of that and did take a series of photos outside first. But I dont have a tripod and it was hard to get the exact situation with the clouds moving across the sun and the camera movement. But even considering the changes and focus and sunlight I couldn’t find any differences. And I noticed afterwards the filter was a bit grubby too!
I was more interested in how a piece of inferior glass would affect the lens performance. Would be interested to see other comparisons.

Not sure what’s going on with the duplication of photos …. I must be uploading them wrong

Great set of comparisons. I was actually thinking about this two days ago. Maybe it seems that, for example, 5142 (compared to 5141) has no filter because it's a little lighter and that might be the case for each of 1st in the sets, but, hmmm, quite close.

Yes you’re right for 5142… 5137 filter on, 5138 filter off, 5139 filter off, 5140 filter on, 5141 filter on, 5142 filter off
