Well, here's a different take on the uv protection debate: what are the
effects of uv rays on the eye that is viewing through an SLR with a
telephoto lens attached (assuming the eye is not otherwise protected by
eyeglasses or sunglasses)?  Could the uv filter help protect the eye from
damaging uv rays?
