Howdy,
After several weeks of reading hundreds of reviews I have finally decided on getting an A1. I want to get a UV filter to protect the lens but I have no idea what to get. I haven't been able to find much on the subject. Can someone please advise me as to what to get or where to look. The last thing I want to to get a filter that will adversely affect the picture quality. Thanks in advance, TexasTony |

To keep the image quality high, I never use a filter unless it is absolutely necessary. I don't subscribe the idea of protecting the lens with a UV. I have been shooting for nearly 30 years professionally with digital, 35mm and medium format in harsh environments, and I have never had a single scratch on my lens nor dropped my lens. But, it is totally your choice. If you do need protection and at the same time aim for the highest optical quality, then your camera deserves the highest quality filters whether they are UV, polarizers, or other filters. Buy the best you can afford. Here are a few links you might want to browse before going to your local store for testing: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ldren&Q=&ci=75 http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?o...y&cat1=Filters http://www.2filter.com/ CK http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam Nikon Coolpix 950/990/995/2500/4500/5700 User Guide |
