Other than reading articles, I do my own tests and with good quality filters (B+W, but the past year I tried Sigma WR, same level and less expensive https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00NIHDMMU/) don't impact the visible quality of photos in normal conditions. I usually remove them only with the sun in the picture. Thanks to filters I saved at least two front elements ($$$) and, considering that the filters mounted on the most used lenses are covered with slight scratches after a few years, they also preserve the commercial value of the lens.
