I shoot a lot of rallys so I use the uv filter to protect the camera from flying stones, also front element would get caked with dust and other grim and require to be cleaned regularily. As im shooting with L spec glass and using Hoya filters the difference is minimal. I do remove mine when shooting in situations were glare will be a problem though such as fireworks or other such painting with light exercises.
Also since im shooting raw I have no problems with lack of contrast, if it just means i +1 on the contrast or shadows slider then so be it.
