Filters

Nikon filters allow you to balance the light to match your film or to create interesting artistic effects. Nikon filters are divided into the screw-in, drop-in, and bayonet type. With the Nikon FA, the filter factor can be ignored except in the case of the R60. When using the R60 in tungsten lighting, set the aperture one f/stop wider than the figure indicated by the exposure meter.

For lens protection, the L39 or L37C is recommended.

When shooting a backlit subject or if there's a bright light source in the frame, a ghost image is likely to result from the use of a filter. In this case, you should take the picture with out a filter.

Lens Hoods

Recommended to prevent extraneous light from striking the lens. Nikon's lens hoods come in four styles: screw-in, slip-on, snap-on, and collapsible-rubber.
