Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and new to the world of DSLR photography
I've just bought myself a Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.
My question is around hoods and filters. There seems to be a 50:50 split of people who say hoods are better than filters and vice versa. I guess I need to know what you guys think would be the best for me?
I have a Nikon HB-45 hood coming, but do I need a filter as well to protect the glass?
Also, if I do need a filter, how do I know what size to buy?
Thanks in advance
