Protecting the Wide Angle Lens

bhoefer · 25th of July 2002 (Thu)

Just got a G2 with DC58 wide angle lens. I am worried about damaging the DC58 lens. Is there a filter or glass cover that can be attached to the outside of the lens casing to protect the exposed glass lens?

Thanks for your help. I'll have to browse the other messages posted here too now.

The end should be threaded for a 58MM filter.

You can also get a lens cap for the same size. The squeeze clip ones lock tight and come off quickly and will work either over the lens end or the screwed-in filter.
