UV filter for my Nikon D5000

Mark789 · 5 Aug 2010

Hi all,

I am thinking of getting a UV filter for my 18-55mm lens on my D5000 and was after a clear filter to protect the lens and was wondering if this will be any good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....79600&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

Thanks all...

There are many on here that maintain that a UV filter is completely unnecessary as there is a built-in one over the sensor anyway. As to protecting the end of the lens from knocks, yes it will...have a look at this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kenko-52mm-Pr...Filters_JN&hash=item5193ec3f93#ht_1690wt_1166
