Which filters, if any, do you use on the lens all the time (UV, sky, polarizer)? What is the best product for cleaning lenses/ filters?

I leave UV's on all the time, which I might want to change. I was living at 8750 feet and needed the UV's always, but now I'm down to 500 feet elevation and probably don't really need them. I use ROR and Kodak lens tissues to clean my filters. There is probably something better, but I bought 2 large bottles a few years ago, and need to clean my equiptment more often!

Depends on what I'm shooting. Outdoors during the day, a polarizer or an nd filter.. Portraits/people shots, I often put on my tiffen 812. For cleaning I use lens tissue from my optometrist, a generic bottle of lense cleaner, a blower brush, & a chamois cloth.

Interesting statement Eric; I just moved from 7,000 ft. in Az. to Eastern Md. & find I need my UV more due to humidity . At higher elevations I used my UV due to atmosphere & 50 mile visibilty , here at lower elevation I want it due to a denser atmosphere & reduced visibility . Just food for thought.
