Yes, and I have my camera kit insured, but I don't expect to have to make
a 
claim.

The difference is, a filter will always degrade the image to some extent. 
Can you accept that more than the risk of damage. I will accept it if the 
filter is doing some good - maybe to improve the image in other ways or,
as 
I already said, in environments like by the sea, but generally I won't.

It depends on what you perceive the filter is protecting against and
whether 
you are prepared to accept the risk.
