Well, its like anything else, very subjective.  I don;t think you will see
any difference with the UV filter on the lens as opposed to off.  Purists
will argue that, but my own preference is to put a slight warming filter
such as a B+W or Heliopan KR1,5 instead of the UV.  IMO, if the filter get
scratched, I am out $40-40, if the lens gets scratched, ouch!!$$!

I've heard that putting a UV filter on a Leica lens is akin to having a 
Porsche and towing a trailer! I'm new to all this ... should I  use one?  
All suggestions are greatly appreciated! AD
