This is my first post since my introduction so please be gentle - I'm still learning
I will receive my new Nikon D40x in a few days which is being supplied with the kit 28-50 Lens...
I will be looking into a few new lenses once I get a hang of the 40x - probably a 50 - 200zoom & wide angle... Just for those outdoor landscapes. But they are a fair way down the track.
In the meantime I plan to make the most of the supplied lense but also want to ensure I protect it from accidental scratches (and providing adequate filtration).
I have read a few good articles on pixalo regarding filters. The bulk of the photo's I take take are outdoors (combination of portrait & landsacpe) mostly in bright light with reflective water in the background.
I'm thinking I will need a UV & Polarising filter just to get me started...
So to the questions!
I see a number of different brands advertised on the likes of eBay: Namely Hoya, Massa and a few "No Name" brands of filters.
Is there a brand of filter that I should be looking for as a better quality or more importantly is there a brand I should steer clear off ?
Given the nature of the subject material I work with, do these two filters I suggested give me adequate filtration or should I be looking for something else?
Off course any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Kev
