MINOLTA DYNAX 5 ACCESSORIES
Hi Guys,
Would somebody please point me in the direction of a UK mail order web site that supplies/can supply appropriate lens hoods for the Minolta Dynax 5? Do Minolta do their own hoods and if so is this the best bet or will any generic hood do the job (the lens in question is/has a 62mm fitting if that helps at all)? In addition, is it worthwhile investing in a Skylight/UV filter for both of the lenses that I have (what's the difference between a UV and a Skylight filter anyway?), if so could someone please recommend a mail order site that could supply these as well? Thanks in advance for the help, if this is in the wrong Group then please let me know and accept my apologies. Regards, Raist. |

If you haven't bought the lens yet there is a good chance that it will come with its own lens hood - worth checking on. Yes, it is worth buying a skylight/Uv filter if only to protect the front lens element from scratches etc. far cheaper to replace a filter than a lens. There are all sorts of qualities (& therefore prices) of filters. It doesn't make sense to buy an expensive lens & then put a poor filter on it t nor do you want to spend as much on the filter as the lens. |
