Al I just got tired of taking crummy pics in the water. I could see the fish great with my $ 7 yellow tint strike king uv glasses but the pics were bad. I tried putting the glasses in front of the lens - better but to much tint. I went to the camera shop and ask what would get the glare off the water . They said a uv filter. Daaaaa - that was stupid question. The lens was more than $ 7 but does the job.
