are there any filters for this lens that will cut the amount of light it takes in.

I don't really know but I 'm going to check this evening : if there's a thread,it probably means we can find some ! Your question is interesting !

Yes, it is better to take it out for the use you refer to, as it cuts light.Just have the normal UV - lens protecting filter on.

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

There are many answers to this question. The type of filter depends of the type of photography you do.For myself, I take many pictures near water so I carry polarizing filters for most of my lenses - to cancel reflections and darken the sky. I also use UV filters on my lenses most of the time for protection and to improve contrast.

52 mm filters, polarizers, or supplementttary close-up lenses screw on the lens.. They work fine. On full wide you may get some cut off around the sides of picture, depending on how many filters you have on the lens.

There are LOTS of lens filter manufacturers out there, but the key requirement is quality glass, ground FLAT. You spend a good deal of money on a Nikon lens; to have it deliver the quality you paid for, don't put a cheap filter that may distort the light coming in--stick with either Nikon proprietary lens filters, or B&W.;

The CPL lens filter will make pictures darker. Try slowing down your shutter speed and/or increase your lens's aperture size. The CPL lens filter is used for reducing glare, just like polarized sunglasses.

Check the lens specifications or check on line for the filter size. It may also be engraved on the lens.

I do not recommend filters unless it will optically improve an image. If the filter gets broken, it will scratch up and damage the glass on the front of the lens. Lens hoods can protect the front glass to a degree. That's what I use-hoods all the time.

No, no filter that you place on your lens will help you take photos at night. In fact, any additional glass you add to the front of your camera will block some percentage of light coming through to the sensor. This one will in fact make your images come out virtually pitch black.

Try to find a 37mm lens cap, if not possible replace with a 37mm UV filter, I use it, instead of the lens cap.

I use UV or skylight filters, mainly to avoid dust and finger prints in the lens body, bersides my experience does not show me any another advantage. a lens hood certainly would do the job as long as it's placed in the lens; but dust and finger prints take place mainly, when switching lenses.

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

you can put a filter on the hood..there is a thread mount on it. there is i little bit shadow appear in the image when you set the lens in 55mm. adjust the lens a little bit and the shadow will disappear..

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

You can purchase a replacement Sigma Len cap of the same size as the Len filter directly from Sigma or any reseller of Sigma lenses. A generic brand of the same size usually will work also.

Like others have said, those items came with the lens, but I can't attest to the part numbers. Get yourself a UV filter to protect the front end.
