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.

After you become more professional, you will continue to grow your collection of excellent Olympus camera lenses. These lenses are used for different types of pictures - some can be micro and others can be macro. In time, your collection of camera lenses will surprisingly add up. Every camera lens can easily cost much more than your SLR frame, so imagine owning 5 Olympus camera lenses!

Almost all expensive things you purchase, you get insurance for. Such as your car, or your house, or anything of worth. Of course, you can buy insurance for your lenses, but usually that isn't necessary, because you can easily look after your camera ]with|by following|by adhering to] a few simple steps. The camera lens glass exterior is easily broken, and it is a unnecessary shame for that to occur, especially when there are several extremely simple methods that can easily protect your Olympus camera lenses.

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 lens filter on your camera lens. All of the filters can be positioned on the front of your Olympus camera lenses. The lens filters also have additional uses. For example, some lens filters prevent UV rays from striking the image sensor, some soften the lighting, and some simply add color. Irrespectively of the side benefits, always attach a filter to your camera lens! It stops anything from scratching your camera lens, which at the end of the day, 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.

Any of these lens filters are much cheaper than your camera lens. The really cheap ones will not be amazing quality, and may affect your picture slightly, but the great ones will not be expensive.

Method 3: Always Use your lens cover

Every lens has a lens cap. There are many people making the mistake of not using a cover.

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

Don't forget, don't be foolish. Protect your tool!
