I totally agree with Brightcolours.
Just add one point: there are few combinations of lenses and filters, where the filters actually touches the front element and therefore add scratches which wouldn't occur without filter. So, if you still think you need to ”protect” those lenses with a thin sheet of glass, make sure to buy a good one. Which could easily be as expensive as the front element of the lens.
