Do I need a UV filter on my SL2

Hello folks! I just purchased a Canon EOS Rebel SL2 3-lens Bundle from COSTCO. I've read several articles / discussions online that say that using a UV filter Improves the quality of outdoor shots and also helps to protect the main lens from accidental damage. I've also read a few that say that UV protection is built-in to most DSLR cameras nowadays and that the use of a UV filter is not necessary.

 

Based on your experience, do I need to use a UV filter on my SL2?

" Do not bother (filter) with the 75-300.  The hood is more than deep enough to protect the front lens."

 

Totally agree. However, I would not put one on the 18-55mil, either.
