Can you put a UV filter on the lens? Does lens have a lens cap?

Yes, this comes with a lens cap but there is no string to keep it attached, so it's easy to lose. And yes you can put a UV filter on it, 40.5mm is the size you need.

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.

Yes, but the UV filter screws between the adapter & the Lense. Hope this helps. Cheers

Just a novice, but I installed a 52mm screw-on UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it from scratches. This keeps dirt off the lens and allows me to clean only the filter with alcohol wipes without fear of damaging the lens. If the UV filter gets scratched, it is easily, and most importantly, inexpensively replaced. Check with a real camera store for cleaning materials for lenses. On-line searches for camera forums should also provide a wealth of information.

I own this camera, it accepts 52mm filters. I have a HOYA 52mm UV[0] on mine right now. Depending on what type of filters you get, you may need a new lens cap than the one that is supplied (I did)

I always have a UV or skylight filter mounted on my Canon lenses, purely as protection for the lens from either dust or damage. The hood can be screwed directly onto the filter and it does not effect your pictures.

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

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

Robbie, did you get the filter? Will your lens cap and hood fit over it? I would like to leave it on all the time.

Any time I get a new lens I always buy a UV filter to put on the new lens and leave it to protect the lens glass. Let's face it new filters are a lot cheaper than a new lens. You don't always want to use CP filter but you still need to protect the lens.

It came with a lens cap fort he front and back. I bought a filter for extra protection.

Like others have said, those items came with the lens, but I can't attest to the part numbers. Get yourself a UV filter to protect the front end.

yes, front and back lens caps are included. The hood is the only real draw back on the lens. It doesn't fit in any of my bags with the hood attached, I end up stowing it separately in a side pocket. VERY minor problem to have on such a fine lens.

Sorry I misread your question. The HOOD does not accept filters. I thought you were asking about the lens. The hood itself does not accept filters. It's a lightweight plastic thing.

The lens hood will help help to prevent lens flair and help protect both the lens and UV filter from dings. The UV filter will protect the lens from dust and scratches, and in that way serve the purpose of a lens cap.

Yes if you buy it new......sime used ones tell you that it does not come with lens cap.(it comes with one for the frint and one for the back)

There are none. No room for a filter because the lens is protruding outward. Just be very careful and keep the lens hood on always.
