Protection Filter

[Ferdi Willemse]

Hi guys,

Since I'm about to buy my A1 one of these days, I also need a protection filter to spare my lens. Can anybody recommend me one?

I was thinking about a polarizer filter of UV filter, but I don't know if either of them is also good for low-light shots. Or should I use another filter?

Also, does it matter if for instance it's a Nikon 72mm filter?

Thanks!

Any UV filter will work to protect the lens. I'm not sure about this but I heard some where that there are some better then others. I use a Tiffen UV filter on mine.

Don't use a polarizer filter unless you're looking for the look that the poarizers provide out doors.

Also, you're correct about the size. It's 72mm.

How much can one expect to pay for one of those?

I just saw that a Tiffen UV-filter costs 28 euro's here.
Is the quality of your Tiffen UV-filter good enough? Cause it's quite cheap I think.

I never had any issues with it

Many lower quality UV filters can degrade the resolution of your image slightly. Make sure to get a high end filter suitable for HD recording.

I got a tiffen 72UVP filter for around 30 dollars from EVS.
