What You can do to save All Your Olympus Camera Lenses

By Markus Chaz


The overall cost of your digital SLR - which consists of the SLR body and several lenses - can easily be more than several thousand dollars, which makes it a pricey piece of equipment.

When you become more professional, you will continue to increase your collection of excellent Olympus camera lenses. These lenses are used for all types of pictures - some can be micro and others can be macro. With time, your collection of camera lenses will surprisingly add up. Every camera lens can without a doubt cost much more than your camera frame, so imagine buying 4 Olympus camera lenses!

Most expensive things you purchase, you buy insurance for. For example your car, or your motorcycle, or anything of value. Of course, you can buy insurance for your SLR, but usually that isn't necessary, since you can look after it ]with|by following|by adhering to] a few easy steps. The camera lens glass exterior is easily broken, and it's a unbelievable shame for that to occur, since there are several extremely easy methods that can easily protect your lens.

Method 1: Buy a camera hood

I use a camera hood with each of my Olympus camera lenses, since they each need various dimensions, and they all have different focal lengths. The camera hood does not exactly protect the camera lens, as it does not cover all the glass. However, it creates an extra barrier in case you drop the camera. The collision is lessened, and results in less damage to the camera lens frame. Furthermore, it becomes much more difficult for hard objects to touch the lens.

Method 2: Use a lens filter

The final protection is having a filter on your camera lens. All of the lens filters can be used on the front of your Olympus camera lenses. These filters also have several extra uses. As a quick example, some lens filters prevent UV rays from striking the SLR image sensor, some soften the lighting, and some others add color. Regardless of the side purposes, you should always attach a filter to your camera lens! It stops everything from scratching your camera lens, which at definitely saves you expenses.

If you want an all purpose lens filter, then buy a UV lens filter. It doesn't change the coloring of your pictures, and is an object that you can keep on your lens all the time.

These lens filters are way cheaper than any of your camera lens. The super cheap ones aren't great quality, and can affect your image slightly, but the good quality filters are not costly.

Method 3: Always Use your lens cover

All of your lenses have a lens cap. I see many individuals making the mistake of not using a cap.

Always use it! All the time. The only time your lens should not be protected with this is when you are snapping photos.

Remember, don't be foolish. Keep your tool safe!
