I live in the Sedona area, so altitude (4500 feet and higher) and haze are sometimes a problem. As a result, I prefer to use UV filters with most of my lenses.
I have a 19" Goerz DAGOR (Serial # 140592), along with several Goerz RED DOT ARTARs. A couple of them have filter threads for lens filters, but they seem to be unusual sizes/diameters. As best as I can measure it, the DAGOR seems to have an 85mm (maybe 86mm) filter thread:
174799
My 19" RED DOT ARTAR (Serial # 788838) seems to have a 58mm filter thread:
174800
Since I am not sure about finding screw-in filters for these lenses, I was thinking about getting a 4x4 UV Lens Filter to use with all of them (I have a 4x4 lens filter holder). Looking around, I noticed 3 filters that I might use:
Tiffen 4x4 UV Haze 2A Filter
Formatt Hitech 4x4 UV-Haze 2B Filter
Schneider UV-410 Glass Filter
Has anybody tried these filters? If so, what is/was your experience with them? Good or bad? I only saw 1 review on B&H's website (about the Schneider filter) and the reviewer found that the filter created a lot of flare.
Alternatively, would I be better off just getting screw-in filters for these lenses?
