Nikon lens cap does not fit thin filter.
By TonyVerified Purchaser from Va. Beach, VA on 5/8/2008
Cons:
Wish you had told me
Best Uses:
Lens Protection
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast

I was disapppointed that the recommended filter (thin) would not take the lens cap I bought at the same time from you with the lens.

I went out and bought a filter that would take the lens cap.

This is my second disappointment out of two orders with your company. Previously I ordered a filter for protection and got a polarizing filter instead. So I went elsewhere and bought another filter.

Fine filter, but....
By TidemanVerified Purchaser from Grand Island, Nebraska on 2/21/2008
Pros:
Clear Optics
Best Uses:
Lens Protection, UV Protection, Wide angle lens
Describe Yourself:
Casual user
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this filter for use on a Nikon 18-200 general purpose zoom. It is more filter than is needed for that lens, as I found after purchase that it is extra thin and purpose designed for avoiding distortion at extreme wide angles. When mounted, it keeps me from using the Nikon Lens Cap that came with the lens. The external threads are so thin that the lens cap can't grip onto it. I bought a less expensive Hoya with thicker threads, and can't tell any difference in the photos from this lens, even at the 18mm position. Net, if you are a pro, and know what you need, go for it - it is extremely well made. But for us average bears just looking to protect a lens, it's overkill.

lens cap issue
By seayak 44 from Berkeley, Ca. on 3/26/2007
Best Uses:
Lens Protection
Describe Yourself:
Part-time professional
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Does not accept a standard Nikon lens cap. This should be noted in the product listing- especially when reccomended as a companionproduct to the Nikon 18-200 zoom lens!
