I am totally new to canon prime lens, is there a filter that you can get to protect the front part.

No, there is not a filter available for the front of the 300mm f/2.8L that I am aware of. Using the long hood for the lens when shooting is sufficient protection in most cases.

You can get a filter, but the depth of the lens hood obviates the need for it. I just got back from Australia shooting with the lens in all weather and conditions and did not use a filter. Better images that way as well.Regards,Evan

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.

There are no threads to secure filters on the front. To protect the lenses I use (2) "Vortex Optics Flip Cap Optic Cover, Size 7". They fit great!

There is no way. There is no filter thread so no extra lens hood or filter can be attached. The built in lemns hod provides some protection. I try to keep the lens cap on between sorts, but that's not too handy.

Its called a lens hood, and it comes with the camera. If you use this hood, you cannot add a lens filter.

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..

It doesn't come with a filter (lens).It's basically a frame to hold a 55mm lens of your choice.Some people use nd (neutral density) filters. I use a circular polarizer.What do you need it for?It's your choice

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

Many people use a UV filter to protect the lens, but on DPReview, it appears that the filter does little to protect the lens. So, two things: a.) Buy a lens hood; according to the anecdotes of many users on DP Review, it protects far better than a filter, and adds contrast to the image. b.) I would still buy a UV or clear filter to keep grit and dust off of the lens--who wants to disturb the multi-coatings on the lens? And the filter will provide some protection. Digital cameras do not need the UV portion of the filter. I use the BW filters, because they don't attract much dust and are easier to clean. Again, filters at least keep grit from getting on the lens (and therefore, you won't scratch a lens trying to get the grit off).

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

I don't think there are any filter threads, no threading to secure them on the lens itself.

The filters screw on. I just use the clear one to protect the lens. At first, I had to be careful when I removed the lens cap, but now I have no problem.

It depends upon what you want. I use polarizing filters and a few other. If you purchase i good quality such as B&W; they will not affect your quality. I use a filter to protect my lens especially in dust or sand. You Don't need to have a filter on all the time

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

The filter has a 67mm thread on the rear so you can screw it onto the front of you lens. The filter has a small lip on the front of the filter for your lens cap to clip on to.

There is no possibility to mount a protective filter on this lens. The lens is concave, so it protrudes in the middle of the glass. Not possible to have a filter on top. The surrounding metal lens hood will protect the glass quite well, otherwise one has to be careful with this special purpose lens when using it.

Use protection filter only, Basically all essential kits are no using and no fit for sx40 lens in my experience.

I don't have a filter for this lens, but the thread diameter noted on the front of the lens is 62mm. You can also check all lens specs at the fujifilm website.
