Filter kit for the P90

[Negatetime]

I had a terrible time in Santa Monica with the sand and sea spray this weekend. The outer element will be worthless in about a year without protection from all the cleaning. Has anyone considered threading a stand off or step up ring into the threads that hold the outer element in? Or what about heating up a filter so it will tap threads into the front rather then using tape?

Thanks,

Back in the day I always upsold customers on UV filters as an insurance policy against lens damage. Many times I sold collapsible rubber lens shades for the same reason.

It typically added $10 to the sale and I believed in it then and now.

There are threads on my P90 but I don't know if they match the threads on standard filters, looks like they're there to catch the lens cap. It does look like the front lens element bulges out so that it might contact the filter glass if you found something to fit.

I eventually gave up trying to defeat Nikons lens design. It's kinda like trying to turn it into a fancy camera that it is not. This camera has its limitations, one being excess noise in low light and full zoom. I figure the only way to solve it is to buy a high end SLR with an array of larger lens that accept filters and covers. Without the threads there will never be a way to securely attach adapter rings. So I just started enjoying the camera for what it is. The Nikon rep recommended against filters for this model saying that they will severely degrade photo quality. So the question to ask if you want to pursue the modification is, " is there a high quality lens filter available that will not inhibit the transmission of ANY light into the apeture"?
