Depends which lens lah..I definately not going to put a filter on a kit lens because well, it's pointless...
But i will always put a filter on an expensive lens. I rather clean the filter than the lens element..
The only thing i use to clean is my t-shirt so i'm definately not going to use that on the actual lens itself
I have dropped my lenses before and broke a few filters in my day..so filters make good protection..that's all their good for..
Having said that, all my lenses use B+W MRC Nano filters

B+W is :thumbsup:

Different lens have different filter thread diameter. Something you can easily google about.
Depends which lens.they are all different in size
but Sony usually uses 49m or 62m or 69mm...well, those are the 3 siezes i have.
Another reason why i like B+W is it's made of Brass..and under hot sun when you put a Cir Pol on an aluminium filter, the cir pol sometimes gets stuck because of the heat..Brass doesn't have that problem..
Spoonfeed you.
It's on the lens itself. Or you can see from the box. Or you can search sony.com or sony.com.sg.
I am such a good bitch tonight.
Alamak. Go easy man. As for filter size, it is simple and basic task of photographer. You can see the text on rim of the lens ring(front).
Case Closed!
Since most of FE lenses are Zeiss lenses,
Zeiss filters http://www.zeiss.com.sg/camera-lenses/en_sg/camera_lenses/accessories/uv_filters.html :thumbsup:
or Sony Zeiss filters http://store.sony.com/gsi/webstore/...vice-Show?CategoryID=XMQKmUBwED4AAAFAcZYihoTf :thumbsup:
would be fine.
B + W is okay too depends on your budget and the store you buy from.
I normally buy my B+W filters from Amazon. Most of the B+W range are eligible for Amazon Global Free Shipping. Buy 1 to 2 filters can easily hit the min amount for free shipping, else just jio jio a few friends to tag along your order
Is it really cheaper from Amazon?
I bought mine from the Mass sales here which is much cheaper than stores. Worse case i buy from Peninsula which is still cheaper than major retaillers...
EDIT: I went to Amazon to check..it's not cheaper there..it's cheaper to buy from Mass Sales in CS

hehe i presume you mean 67mm and not 69mm
that will be a odd diameter for filter threads.Brass has its advantages, but also its own disadvantages. In the unlikely event that you drop the lens, a stuck brass alloy filter will be much harder to get removed vs a aluminium alloy filter like hoya. Experienced it myself in the past. dropped/dented hoya aluminium, just cut away the filter ring. b+w brass, stuck to the lens, had to ask fatique to help me remove the filter hehe.

yes, brass harder to remove when you drop the lens...but still can..use cutter can remove..i did it once when i dropped my lens
Hi guys, does anyone which camera shop sells the silver body only (without kit lens)? I tried calling Alan Photo, Cathay, Ms Color and SLR with no luck. I know the US online stores have them but I would like to have a local warranty. Any luck here?
Thank you!
Thank you!
I think sony singapore do not have the silver (body only)option for the A6000. If want silver body, need to buy it as a kit package
Yeah, that's what the shops told me. Is it safe to buy from US? I mean, will the long distance shipment damage the camera/lens?
