These filters are a must have, as Nikon says (and my experience shows) that the lens will not focus correctly without a filter mounted. Mounted to my D70S, any photo I took without a filter mounted was a hit and miss operation. Even mounted on a tripod with careful refocussing, none of my pictures came out as I thought they would. The few I took that came out nicely probably looked out of focus when I took them. Since mounting a simple rear UV filter, the results changes dynamically. If the lens you by comes without filters, you must hope to find a filter set to purchase. Don't be fooled: these are special filters made specifically for this lens. A 'normal' 39mm filter will not do, as they extend too far into the camera body preventing lens mounting. These filters drop in, then screw in (the male threads pointing outward when mounted to rear of the lens). It takes a little practice, as your fingers have little purchase, but well worth it if you like this lens and accept it's limitations.Read full review
