Does lens of Canon G10 need UV filter protection? Do I need to buy a UV filter for protection?

The camera does already protect the lens when powered down and I'm not sure the lens is even threaded to take a filter so I wouldn't really worry about it.

If you are taking snapshots with a DSLR then almost any UV filter can protect the lens. I prefer to spend minimal time in post production and typically purchase B&W; because they seem to have the best coatings and glass. Some less expensive filters will produce strange distortions and colors in photographs.

Just the same size of the lens. I hardly ever use uv filters. If I do only black/wht filter. I have heard some people even stack 4 etc... why!! If concerned about protecting the lens for a certain photo shoot then yes put one filter on. I have a Canon also. Like them both. Nikon a little better. Buy this one or the D7100. Hope this helps you. Diana

There is no filter that will protect the front element. The only filter this lens takes is a drop-in filter in the lens barrel.

You do not need a UV filter with a modern digital camera. A polarizer is good for outdoor landscape work.

The filter size is 72mm. Either a Daylight or a UV filter will protect your lens without affecting your photos.

HOYA or B&W. It's good to have some ND filters (reduce the amount of light to prevent blown out highlights and to be able to shoot at widest aperture while shooting during bright daytime) or circular polarizer (cut down the reflection/ and some light). UV filter is good only to protect the lens, in my opinion.

There are many answers to this question. The type of filter depends of the type of photography you do.For myself, I take many pictures near water so I carry polarizing filters for most of my lenses - to cancel reflections and darken the sky. I also use UV filters on my lenses most of the time for protection and to improve contrast.

Takes a standard 77mm UV filter. Not sure if it creeps into the image. I can check.

I use a Hoya Green Label (uncoated) 46mm UV filter purely for protection from dirt and "me". I got mine from camerafilters.com for @$10, maybe less. The main concern for me was getting one that I knew would clear the lense tunnel, as no one seemed to know what fit my FZ28 at the time. I've taken hundreds of shots just for comparison, I see no difference in image quality. I now leave it on inside and out. I prefer the uncoated, as they seem easier to clean. (A lenspen works great for the filter and lens)Edit: You do mean F"Z" 35 don't you?? You posted FX35..

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

I don't use a lens hood with this filter. It's not really needed as the filter provides protection for the lens.

What lens cap would I buy to use with this camera if there is a UV or clear coated filter?

I use a thin uv filter mainly for protection of the front element. It works fine! This is a great lens and I think you will enjoy it! Take care, Doc

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

You need a UV filter. Trust me, better for a $10 UV filter to get scrtched then your lens. And a circular polarizer is a must have especially since your shooting water shots.
