A Photojournalist’s Field Guide: In the trenches with combat photographer Stacy Pearsall

Filter from the Elements

Be sure to protect your lenses with a high-quality UV filter. As photojournalists, we expose our equipment to multiple hazards, from flying projectiles to excess dust and debris. Instead of allowing our expensive glass elements to take the brunt of the scratches, why not let a much cheaper filter take the hit? UV filters can be kept on your camera at all times and are ideal in helping to protect your lens against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and damage while also reducing UV light.
