I honestly don't know if it is, but I doubt it, I can't remember reading that anywhere.

No, the lens come with a protective front element and there is no possibility to attach any additional front protection.

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!!Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

No more then any other lens. I use a UV filter to protect the lens/glass but not required. If you choose to you can use other select filters.

No, I use a polorizing filter that will boost color. I also have a UV that does protect the lens. It 's a great lens without any as well

The lens comes with a pouch as well as a hard cap. There is an extra UV protecting glass in the package.

As far as I can tell the lens is made of glass. It states it in the product description. the head that holds the magnifier and lamp is plastic and the light does have a covering. I have worked with this type of lamp for many years and am very happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.

High quality filters designed specifically for sigma lens, a protective lens was intended to absorb ultraviolet radiation, is effective to remove the reflection of glass and water.

No. This lens predates their new weather resistant lenses. So no special seals or anything else. That said, great lens and nothing comparable that is weather sealed in the line right now

The lens is exposed but there is adequate protection. I've had the case for over a month and my lens is still perfect. I hope this helps.

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.

The UV filter protects the lens while the lens hood keeps unwanted glare from the lens (and probably adding another layer of protection).

On the plus side, the lens is always protected. On the minus side, if you drop the camera and happen to chip the hardened glass lens cover, you're pretty much screwed. (This is the voice of experience talking).

It will not protect the lens as the screen protector has a cut out for the lens to prevent unclarity when taking photos. The screen protector will protect the back of the product from scratches.

Here is the response from LensDirect.com: Yes they do provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

The way the case is designed the lens is not covered but protected because it is recessed. When the case is flat on surface the lens is not coming in contact with anything.

I don't use a UV filter, I use this hood after I take the lens cap off so I don't accidentally touch the lens...
