[QUOTE="Michael J., post: 419269, member: 13861"] The same goes for me. I bought the D5100 and the Kit lens was with it. I bought a UV Filter for it. And was shocked by the result. But I think it was my fault cos I used it in the night pointed straight into the light of our beautiful street lights. I use my cam for almost every situation, beach, Water festival, unexpected rainy days, in moister environment, etc. I just feel a bit uncomfortable that the D5100 body doesn't like it. The lenses I think were never in high risk situation, and that's why i didn't need a UV to protect them. But sometimes when it is windy and dust strikes me, yes that is the time that I want a filter. I don't have any time a cleaning set with me when I walk around. Than I can give away the filter and the lens is ready for clear shots again. Not to mention that sometimes I touch the front of the lens bu accident and here I go again, no cleaning clothes with me. This time, before the Water festival in Thailand, starts 13 of April, I will get a UV Filter for my 16-85 for sure. The water drops are very nasty on the lens, Cos they're not clean Water drops. On this event people mix[B] talcum-powder[/B] into the water and that makes the gear damaged. So I don't use that much my cam or go with the car on the street. You need a very hard cleaning time to get the car's windshield clean after this event. Yes, I am sur eto get the UV for my 16-85 and thi stime not a cheap one. I need a good one. BTW, any suggestion what is good UV for my 16-85? [/QUOTE]
