Almost all expensive items you purchase, you get insurance for. Such as your computer, or your house, or anything of worth. Now, you can also get insurance for your camera, but in most cases that isn’t necessary, because you can easily look after it ]with|by following|by adhering to] a few easy steps. The lens glass can easily get broken, and it’s a unbelievable shame for that to occur, since there are several unbelievable easy methods that can help protect your Olympus camera lenses.

Method 1: Own a camera hood

I own a camera hood for each of my Olympus camera lenses, since they all require different sizes, and each have different focal lengths. The hood will not exactly shield the lens, since it does not cover the glass. However, it acts as an extra barrier in case you drop the camera. The impact is lessened, which thankfully results in less damage to the lens frame. On top of that, it becomes way more difficult for hard objects to scratch the lens.

Method 2: Use a filter

The best protection is having a filter on your camera lens. Any of these lens filters can be positioned on the front of your Olympus camera lenses. The lens filters also have several extra uses. For example, some filters prevent UV rays from striking the image sensor, some soften the lighting, and some others add color. Regardless of the side purposes, definitely attach a lens filter to your lens! It stops anything from damaging your camera lens, which at ultimately saves you expenses.

If you want a general purpose filter, then buy a UV filter. It will not change the coloring of your images, and is something that you can keep on your camera lens all the time.

All these filters are way cheaper than any of your lens. The extremely cheap ones are not amazing quality, and can affect your image slightly, but the good quality ones will not be costly.

Method 3: Always Use your camera lens cap

All of your lenses have a camera lens cover. There are many individuals making the mistake of not using a cover.

Use it! Everyday. The only time your camera lens should not be covered with a filter is when you are snapping pictures.

Remember, don’t be a fool. Protect your tool!
