I use a LEE Wide Angle Lens Hood at all times, regardless of whether or not I am using a GND or ND filter. My lens shade has a LEE 105mm Accessory Front Thread Adapter Ring.
I often shoot in locations with salt spray, and would like to add a degree of protection to my lenses. Instead of purchasing separate UV filters (B+W multicoated), I am thinking about purchasing a 105mm filter to mount in the lens hood. Does anyone have experience with this?
Questions:
1) Would the UV filter have (more of) an impact on image quality if it were in the hood?
2) Would the (potential) impact on image quality be reduced if the UV filter were attached directly to the lens, behind the LEE wide angle adaptor ring and wide angle hood, or would it make no difference at all?
3) If the UV filter were mounted directly to the lens, and I add a GND or ND into the mix, would the impact on image quality be greater than it would be if the UV filter were attached to the hood?
Just in case it makes a difference, I use: a Fujinon CM-W 210mm f5.6, Fujinon CM-W 135mm f5.6 and a Fujinon SWD 90mm f5.6 on 4x5; and, a Fujinon CM-W 300 mm f5.6 on 8x10.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Robert
