I'd like to get a filter (probably a sky light or UV or something), to give to added protection. I was told that the filters aren't always needed. What would you recommend for the F717. I think that you can use any 58 mm filter on it. I don't need the latest and greatest. I'm basically looking for something to give some added protection to the lens. Thanks!

What's your experiance with the teleconverter?
Thanks,

Why bother?
I've been using a '707 for 18 months.
For the past 20 years I've placed a UV or Skylight 1B onto my old film SLR lenses for protection, but nothing dramatic ever happened.
Maybe I'm just lucky.
My '707 lens is still 100% pristine. Just be careful with the camera.
It's a very good lens.

Yeah, the whole reason is basically for protection. I was told they didn't do much too.
It seems to me that the lens cap touches the lens. Does that seem to you that it does? I'm super careful when I put the cap back on for that reason. Hey, I'm super careful with the whole camera!
I think I may go with a cheap UV.CheckSix
Equipment: A camera (who gives a rip about the brand?)
