Is there a built in lens cap or other means to protect the lens?

No it compresses into the camera like most of the point and shoot cameras do. I think that this is a fatal flaw for those types of cameras. Very suseptable to dirt and sand. I would sugest a fixed lens style camera. I bought a Pentax K5 and love it. Hope this helps you out in making a decision on your nex purchase.

The lens retracts fully into the body of the camera, then there is a built in lens cover that closes like tiny hangar doors. Keep it in a little neoprene case and it'll be just fine.

Yes, this comes with a lens cap but there is no string to keep it attached, so it's easy to lose. And yes you can put a UV filter on it, 40.5mm is the size you need.

No unfortunately the lens is covered. I still use it all the time. I have probably been using it for 2 years and love it.

I don't think a lenscap is necessary since the filter and parasoley is already providing an enough protection for the lens. I don't use any and never had a problem. I hope this helps...

Yes there is. Look on the outside of your lens and it will have the mm that the lens is. The inside of the cap will have the mm on it as well. Your lens should have 58mm and again the inside of the cap will have it.

Thanks for submitting your question and thanks for your answer Todd.I can also confirm that it does come with lens caps, This information can also be found on the product detail page in the description under the price of the item. Have a great day!

As all others have answered, yes, a small metal cover protects the lens when the camera is powered off. HOWEVER..... it is not the strongest piece of metal in the world! A good strong poke could easily breach that cover and damage the lens, so I suggest that you still plan to treat the camera with respect, even when turned off.

Yes - you must buy a new lens cover. I bought one that also included an elastic strap that slide over the lens and with a cord and double-sided tape connector for the lens cap so that you can take it off and let it hang and not lose it. Sorry I don't remember where I got it.

I am not sure if all of them come with them but I know the one I bought came with lens caps for it to protect it when not in use.

Yes there is a silicon piece that covers it but you just adjust it to take a photo. It comes out and spins but stays attached. It protects the lens when not in use. Kind of like a phone charger port you have to pull down the piece. This is an amazing cover.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, Ricardo... But each lens has plastic protective caps for both sides to cover the glass when not in use. And I believe the 55-300 came with a felt cover the protect the entire lens body, too (although I never take that lens off my camera -- I'm in love with that zoom).

The lens cap is not pictured here. It is a "true cap" that fits over the entire top of the lens like a hood. Here is a photo of the cap: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-city/digital-camera-accessories/tokina-16-28mm-f-2-8-lens-canon-mount/1014780487

There is no way. There is no filter thread so no extra lens hood or filter can be attached. The built in lemns hod provides some protection. I try to keep the lens cap on between sorts, but that's not too handy.

There is not a lens cap that fits the larger open end of this hood that I know of. We have to slide the cap inside to take it on and off. You can twist the hood off and on without interfering with the lens cap when putting the camera back into a bag for example.

No, camera is waterproof, so there is no way to attach a cap to the lens. I keep mine in a small case to protect it as I am wading in water daily as a guide here in Hawaii. Putting some Rain X on the glass lens keeps water from collecting on the lens. If you don't have a case, a ziploc works great too!

The hood helps prevent flare by blocking light from cutting across the lens from the side. It doesn't actually replace a cap, but does put something in front of the lens and so protects against bumps. The cap won't fit on the hood - you'd need to find a larger one, but I'm not sure of the diameter. It's a bayonet hood though, so it's easy to take off and put on the lens cap when you put the camera back in your bag.

The lens is on the inside, protected-that's what I needed to protect it from sand and weather. There is no cover.
