Protecting your lens
Can anybody recommend a good lens protector for shooting? I want to shoot close to the street with moving objects and I am afraid a stone might crack the lens. What kind of filter can I attach that will not effect the picture whatsoever. Someone mentioned a polarizing filter but it seems like that might change the picture slightly. Does anybody have any good suggestions? Thanks for your help!!!

A high quality UV filter is often used to protect the front element. Look for one that is coated to minimize internal reflections.
Be aware that dust on a filter can become visible in the image so you have to take care to keep it clean. |
Don is right. The first things I bought for my three GL2s were UV filters that live on the cameras at all times. It's the ol' "an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure".
I would much rather have to buy a new filter than a new lens! |
Thanks guys for all your help. Can you recommend one to get? It seems there are so many and if you are having success with the ones you have I will probably get some of those. Thanks!
