![]() | B & W 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Haze Multi Coated (2C) Glass Filter #010
Buy new: $27.78 / Used from: $15.00 You're going to want uv filters on your lenses. I recommend B+W for anti-glare, anti-dust, and anti-fingerprints. B+W is the best, and won't cost you a stop. And always get "multi-coated"!

|
![]() | Manfrotto 3021PRO Professional Tripod without Head (Silver)
