A filter on the front ain't gonna make much difference either way with
regard to fungus. Better to find/invent a very dry place to keep the gear
between shootings.
See: http://users2.ev1.net/~wesiddiquis/siddiq/ Humidity pumps into the
lens every time you change focus whether you have a filter or not.

Subject: Re: [OM] Filters Filters Filters!
One of the problems with that Tom is that here in Taiwan, I have seen
quite a few lenses that don't have "fungus among us" as far as the front
element is concerned due to a filter in the front.. So in this type of
hostile environment, a front element filter is a must. I'm less worried
about the damage, more worried about the moisture..
