I think I'll stick to his opinions over your "less qualified?" repertoire?

I used to follow the put a UV filter on everything theory... after 15 or more years of serious SLR use I've yet to scratch a filter. However I have had shots in low or extreme light mucked up by the filter providing un-wanted internal reflections between the front of the lens and the back of the filter.

So now I don't use a filter 80% of the time, only if I'm in high glare or adverse conditions (sand / salt spray) where the filter can help the lens protection.

As to cleaning the lens (back to Nige' original Q) - a clean microfiber cloth is good, I also use the cleaning fluid I got to clean the sensor. BUT I don't apply the fluid directly to the lens, but to the cleaning cloth / paper.
