nikon 16-85mm DX VR
I bought the Nikon 16-85 DX lens the VR11 version . Im shocked to find out
the lens is so close to the lens cap mayb only 2mm . I dont normally go for lens filters to protect lens . but in this case I will have to get one. any sugestions which one Im thinkinking of a Hoya Pro 1. Do most of zooms within this range have the from eliment so close to the lens cap . . The Nikon 16-85 fromt element appaers to be toally flat from the fromt and soo close to the lens cap

I believe you will get better results with the thinner B+W. Works better at
the wide end, being thinner. "Bob" wrote in message ... I bought the Nikon 16-85 DX lens the VR11 version . Im shocked to find out the lens is so close to the lens cap mayb only 2mm .

Personally I prefer to use the lens hood to protect the lens rather than a filter, and the hood is generally useful anyway. Don't you use the hood that came with your 16-85? I'll agree it's a bit more of a nuisance than a filter you can just leave on the lens, but I still don't like using filters for that purpose.
