Hi all - OK, got my D40X with "Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II" and "Sigma 55-200mm F4-5.6 DC HSM" lenses. I'm reading that I should use lens protectors to avoid getting the lenses dirty - correct, yes?
All the lens protectors I've seen so far appear to be "filters". So, I have a couple of questions:
1. Will *any* 52mm threaded filter / protector fit my chosen lenses?
2. What's the best type of filter to buy for general use while I learn about DSLR photography? UV, or ... ?
I guess I might be able to answer these questions myself once I've read all the documentation for my camera and lenses, but I'd like to be prepared before I start heading outdoors with the camera
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
Cheers
Mike
