Perhaps the title should be “Can Slim filters damage your lens?”.
Avoiding an el-cheapo deluxe generic filter on your high-grade lenses is excellent advice. But the article only finds tiny instance of budget “Slim” filter as the cause of front element damage.
Aren’t wide angle lenses the only ones that even require “slim” filters?
So for most other lenses it would follow that a reasonably priced multi-coated Hoya UV (non-slim mount) filter will pretty much do exactly the same thing as a $150 Heliopan or B&W UV.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
