It is important to make sure your camera lens is in tip-top shape.
Nikon SLR and digital SLR cameras come with interchangeable lenses. These lenses allow you to adjust how your camera captures the outside world, ranging from fish eye lenses to macro lenses. Regardless of the lens you are using on the camera, you can upgrade the lens with a series of filters that adjust and possibly improve the overall image quality of the Nikon lens.
Instructions
1. Determine the Nikon lens size. This is printed on the side of the camera lens. You must have this information before attempting to update the Nikon lens; otherwise you are not going to find the correct sized filter.
2. Thread a UV neutralizing filter onto the front end of the lens. This filter blocks out strong light rays from the lens, giving you a crisper image. It also acts as a protective barrier to the glass of the lens, as the filter is far less expensive to replace than the lens itself.
3. Attach additional filters to the lens to fit effects you want to accomplish. This includes a star burst filter that makes all light points display star shapes of light (such as on candles and lamps), as well as fog filters to upgrade a Nikon lens to produce a soft haze around the sides of an image.
4. Clean the Nikon lens to keep it up-to-date and like new. Because the workings of a lens never changes, there is no need to purchase a new lens, as long as you keep it clean. Wipe it down with a lens cleaning cloth, and then remove any remaining dust with an air blower (do not use compressed air as it may damage the lens).
