I own a Nikon D60. I have two lenses, standard 18-55mm and 55-200mm. I am planning to buy a lens filter from ebay but I am getting confused about what size lens filter should I buy.
I am just a starter in DSLR so could any one please suggest me about the details I need to know before purchasing the lens filter.
Regards.
If you take out the cap of the lens and see the backside - you will notice the size of the cap (I am guessing it is 58mm for both 18-55mm and 55-200mm).
As for which filter is better, I would say Hoya or B+W filters but these are expensive as well. You can find as low as 99 cents in ebay - which are from China (and you probably know why)
If you are new, you can as well look for polarized filters as well which are better for photos. I wouldn't be buying very expensive filters if I were just starting with entry level DSLR because you won't be able to differentiate the photo with filters and without one.
My Guess is 58mm too, I have Hoya it's decent for beginners!!
rockey07,
Like other friends suggested, you can see your lens to match exact size of filter. And if it's D60 kit lens 18-55 and 55-200 then it's 58mm diameter filter lens.
However if you feel to read something about it before buying it, I have spent little bit time writing about it and you can check this here
