i will be getting a multi reflection coated (mrc) uv filter for my camera, which will stay on all the time. and i also want to get a circular polarizer (cp) filter with it also. if i have the mrc uv on all the time, do i need to get the cp with mrc also?

i would always get multi coated everything. cuts down on glare and internal reflections for each element. multi coating on the UV isn't going to fix problems created by the polarizer.


i'd remove the UV when putting on the polarizer, though. less degradation and less chance for corner shading that way.
