'tis my understanding that (unless you have a quartz lens) the optical
glass
of a standard photographic lens will block most UV light.

Interesting. I know that I've seen UV photographs, but I seem to
remember reading in the past that the obstacles to UV photography were
greater then IR photography. A little further reading indicates that
standard lenses are fine for shooting the "long-wave UV" part of
near-UV, but most of the "short-wave UV" is blocked by common standard
lenses.
