If the front of the lens gets scratched, it&#8217;s ruined; if the filter gets scratched, you simply replace it for about $13.&nbsp; Also, it&#8217;s a good idea to have a&nbsp;<a title=\"Microfiber Cloth\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/cpsmfcg.html\">microfiber cloth<\/a> (right) to wipe away any smudges on the filter.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 suggested kits for 5 very different kinds of photography, built around the Nikon D3200.
