Filter is not sticker. Its something like 1 cap that screw with your lens. Usually lots of user are on Kenko and Hoya. I have no idea bout others? If 52mm I guess is around RM80-90. And usually stick on the lens for 24 hours is the UV filter.
Correct me if something i say wrong. =)

sorry, abit noob here..

u mean filter is something like this? http://www.rockycameras.com/ekmps/shops/ro....49-17346-p.jpg

so the main purpose of a filter is for effect or protection ?

and UV filter is the one which stick on the lens surface? what you mean by 24 hours?

Not stick on the surface, its screw on the lens. UV filter is usually to protect the lens and also block UV ligthing. Effect of UV just a bit, not much effect. There is few type of filter, which is ND, CPL & etc... But there is some others ppl will prefer naked, dont put any filter liked our bro JLOI here.

Filter look like this,

Bro, that is example how filter look like.

You just need to go to the shop and told them you need filter. And get the brand & size of the filter you want. If dont know, just bring the lens to the shop and told them you want the filter for that lens.

afraid i bought a lemon set,
at first, i asked for a new sealed set but the seller insisted that thr is no demo set and the one i am holding is new.. so i gave up
besides, i am always a loser when trying to ask seller for 1-1 exchange.. can give some tips how/what to say?
spent my hard saved money and found out that stuck pixels is all over the place..  sad.gif

here is what i meant

hotpixel is visible even at lowest iso with 2 second exposure, anyone out there can test ? just want to check whether my toy is normal or lemon
@sinner

the method i use is use lens cap, then shooting raw with manual with few different ISO and shutter speed
eg.. ISO160/800/3200 @ 1 second, 10 second, 1/5second ....
