Dear Howard,
Who has told you not to use a filter with A DSLR?
The most sensible thing is to always have a filter on your lens, I use Hoya HMC UV filters on all my lenses.
Remember it's easy and cheap to replace a filter, but it's very expensive if you scratch a lens.

Hi Nigel,
My 18-135mm is my standard always on lens, and my 55-300 I use for long zoom shots.
Camera is a K20D.
Kindest regards,
Peter.

Many thanks Roscoe, the camera came with a Pentax 18 - 55mm lens, i have just purchased a used Pentax smc DA 1: 4-5.6 50-200mm ED 49mm Dia. i have tried it and it seems ok, only time will tell
DA lenses will work OK, have you looked for a cheap second battery from the 7 Day shop, they work fine, are miles cheaper than Pentax, and are handy to keep in your bag.Many thanks Roscoe, the camera came with a Pentax 18 - 55mm lens, i have just purchased a used Pentax smc DA 1: 4-5.6 50-200mm ED 49mm Dia. i have tried it and it seems ok, only time will tell

As stated above the K20D is a great camera, I have one, I personally would recommend the DA18-135 as your standard always on lens, as you would have wide angle plus a good amount of zoom.
When money allows buy the DA 55-300mm

I have the 18-135mm, it's my always on lens.
I have taken some good shots with it and can recommend it.

All my lenses have filters, skylight or similar. I'd rather clean any gunge from a filter than the front element of a lens.

I can't afford to replace my lenses, and fitted filters at time of purchase!
