The lens itself don't have thread to screw on lens or filters....thus the need for a adapter. Fior price chk wif those wif C-2040z, u can find them at my Oly Resource Thread. http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2207
As for the UV filter, it's up to u but since it's quite cheap might as well get one to safeguard ur investment, right???

Actually Jayan has pretty much answered your question. Some people generally don't believe in covering their lens as this way they believe that the optics will deliver the best performance. (I'm referring to people who leave their uv filter on perpetually) Of course this very same people wouldn't hesitate to put on a uv environment if it's dusty, sandy etc
Bottomline is the kind of photographer you are and your photographic environment .

Hi ultramagnus
My armour for my 2040 is as follows:
1) CLA-1 ($30)
2) 43-52mm step up ($8)
3) Tokina 52mm UV filter ($8)
4) Oly C-210 1.9x Teleconvertor ($70)
Yet to buy a Cir Polariser
All bought from CP during one of the SEED
If you dont want to step up which will block the view finder and flash, you can buy the vitacon 43-37 adaptor.
Kevin and Blitz are using that.

Blitz, how much you pay for the adapter , the 41 to 37mm type?
Can we get it at seed in CP?
