Does this come with a Sony warranty? And the filters are UV, polarizing, and what else?

It comes with a Sony warranty as it is a Sony lens . I have used it many times and it takes very good photos. I only use a UV filter and a polarizer. There are many types of filters, however, I recently purchased Lightroom 5 and already have elements 10. I have started taking all my photos in Raw and I like the way they look. The final decision is yours, however, for the cost it is worth the investment.

It does come with a warranty. The third filter is a fluorescent filter. I haven't found an occasion yet where I've needed it, though.

There is a 1 year warrenty through sony. And through beach camera its only 45 days. The lens comes with everything you see in the picture. The clear filter is uv,The other 2 are tented and come with a case. The lens cap keeper is small and tight and you cant put the shade cap on. if you have a walmart where you live i would get a lens cap keeper from there. They are longer and not so tight and you can put the shade cap on. I hope this information helps.

Yes there are. I bought the Sigma polarizing filter and it attached securely onto the UV filter.

Some models come with a UV filter and some don't. As I ready had a stand alone UV unit, I bought the cheaper unit w/o UV filter. I would hope that the product specifications, based on the size of the unit, would include that information. Sorry, but that is the best I can do.

This is not a genuine SONY part...nowhere it bears the SONY mark or seal. When I compare the original part with this, there is a lot of visual difference. Having said that, I've been using it for almost two months and it's been working fine My only disappointment is that it didn't come with the Filter that was promised.

No filters are 'required' per se; however, I strongly recommend purchasing an inexpensive 67mm UV filter to protect the front element from scratches or damage. Multi-coated filters will reduce glare and reflections on the lens and glass filters are more scratch resistant and typically better optically than plastic. After destroying a more expensive Hoya, I am currently using the AGFA 67mm Digital Multi Coated Ultra Violet (UV) Filter (Protector) APUVF67Within 2 weeks of purchasing my lens, I pulled it out of the bag and my filter was shattered. I don't recall any dropping the bag or any significant impact but I was glad the damage was to a $40 filter rather than a $600 lens.

Yes, this is a new brand. I bought it new. It did not come with original sony warranty. I purchased my warranty through Amazon because it came as a package deal at the time.Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it comes with a warranty, we bought it as a spare because it has a five Star. We just had to use it and it works fine. The only thing is , for the first three days it had a plastic burning smell , but now the smell is gone. If you buy this bulb at Sony it costs $250.00

UV filter is pretty much just a lens protector. And I agree with Austin, get a circular polarizer. Also a ND filter is great for water shots, it'll let you have a longer shutter to get that milky look to the water.

A uv or polarizing filter. But to be honest with you, you don't need one for the gopro. Only if you r scuba diving or snorkeling

Yes, I have both. There isn't much point to the Clear UV Haze filter as far as having any positive effect on your photographs. It used to matter with film, but in digital the camera is immune to UV anyway so there is no positive difference in the images captured. On the minus side, adding a filter gives you one more thing that can be smudged or dusty and one more layer of glass to invite flare if you're shooting into bright light or sun. Meanwhile, the circular polarizer has a pretty major effect on photographs, particularly outdoors. It eliminates reflected light in one direction, which enables you to cut glare from water, roads, windows, and sky. There are tradeoffs too; sometimes it makes the sky too deep and unnaturally blue. But you can usually adjust to deal with that. It can also help clouds stand out more if that's what you're trying to do.

I still have the box. I will see if I can find information. http://www.pegasuslighting.com/optivex-uv-filter.html look at this one

No. Polarizing filters are extra. Go for a circular polarizer though and get a good one. This camera deserves it.

I do not recall, and do not have it at-hand.I can tell you that I have not needed a warranty -- the lens works perfectly and functions as-new.:)
