Hi! I'm picking up my HV20 tomorrow (went with the good deal at CircuitCity and the AAA coupon that people mentioned!) and, well, most of today I've been wandering around all sorts of threads looking at lens stuff and then audio equipment...
Anyway! To get where I was going, with all this wandering, I'm left with links that I've saved, but I've forgotten some of what I've read and was wondering if I could get some help. I'd really like to get a UV filter for my HV20, so at the very least I have protection on the camera lens, along with providing you know, some decent UV protection.
Strumming around on BHPhotoVideo I saw a bunch of UV protection lens with before and after photos to give you an idea of how the lens would look, except the photos, I noticed, were simulated. One that looked alright was the Tiffen UV filter (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/72710-REG/Tiffen_43UVP_43mm_UV_Protector_Glass.html), but at $9.63, I'm not sure whether it'll actually be good, so I was wondering what people thought. I don't really have a whole lot of money to spend, but I'd still like to get something decent.
And as someone pointed out, with a UV lens on the camera, I'll probably need a lens caps, so if someone could recommend one of those too, I'd be much obliged! Sorry, I know this has been covered before, but I just remember so many different brands being mentioned, I can't remember what the final verdict ended up being. ^_^;
