Does it have an optical coating to reduce lens flare that can be introduced by a filter?

I have never experienced any lens flare from the filter itself. If the sun is striking the filter, you will probably get flare though.

It has worked great for me, I have never tried the really expensive ones, but this one has worked fantastic, especially when slowing the shutter speed in bright sun

Yes, but apply the cleaning solution to the cloth you're using instead of directly to the lens.

Yes, in fact, that's the basic standard for all filters. You can attach additional filters like ND, UV, gradient.. etc, attach screw type lens hood, attach lens cap... whatever the need, thredding on both sides are available as per the standards. Take care not to clean by rubbing. Apparently, this is only flash coated.

Not that I know of. Even with SLRs I have found that if you see lens flair you can usually just stick you hand out and block the sun.

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

No, only clear lens, if a blue filter is added it would have to be glass. The lens gets very hot.

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.

I use the clear UV filter to protect the lens from any contact that would harm the first lens element. Lenses have coatings that can get worn away from numerous cleanings and improper handling. The polarizing filter would protect the lens, but I wouldn't want to use it for every shot. I use mine to reduce reflection in glass, darken the sky and modify contrast, depending upon the situation.

No. A self-adhesive thin metal ring attaches to the front of the lens barrel. The filter mount has an integrated magnet that will stick to the metal ring. Check carryspeed.com for a video of the mounting process. I hope this helps.

Theoretically no, but I prefer having a filter on EVERY lens I have at all times. That way I don't have to worry about making switches, or ruining a lens without a filter

I don't think so...they just filter the sun but make everything so much brighter and the greens are so much greener.... its a dark yellow lens, with no silver refective material on the outside...hope this helps..

A lens with a multi-layer T* coating that minimises light reflection on the lens surfaces, eliminating ghosting and flaring. With less reflection than a conventional lens, more natural light is able to reach the imaging chip, which makes images more natural-looking and vibrant.

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

Yes. The filter size is 37mm. I am using a TIFFEN 37mm UV Protector Filter to protect and prevent dust from going into the lense. I bought the filter from Amazon.

As all the other answers illuminate, this filter serves to provide protection from fingerprints, smudges, dust, etc., for your camera's lens. Some clear filters even have a hardened coating to enhance impact protection. UV/Haze filters or Skylight filters are/were used on photographic film cameras as color film reacts to UV wavelength light. Those filters blocked transmission of UV light to the film but also furnished a protective "layer" to the camera lens. UV/Haze and Skylight filters have a slight color tint and could affect the color captured by a digital photo sensor, which isn't affected by UV wavelength light. Hence, the "clear" filter has an application in digital photography. Look for one with high quality optical glass and multi-coated to prevent ghosting and flare in your photos from light sources and reflections. No doubt, this filter from Nikon likely meets those requirements.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

All filters have an optical coating. It is possible to stack this on or under other filters.
