Use a lens hood for protection.

Be gentle when you clean, a lot of lenses have multiple coatings, you can damage these, but in general don't worry about it too much. You would be astounded how rough a lot pros are with their gear.

The main problem with cosmetic damage is it will reduce resale value, but normally it won't impact image quality too much.

I would ask you what DNG means, but then there may be another war so I will just look it up! lol Apple vs Windows is a whole nother battle that I have been battling for quite some time.

I briefly looked at lens hoods, but there were different kinds so I wasn't sure which would be the better one. I remember seeing round rubber ones that extended, plastic "tulip" ones, round rubber ones that didn't extend...any suggestions on which would be best? Also, would the size for it be a thread size...or the name of the other value that I cannot think of...? That may seem like a silly question, but I honestly don't know!

Be gentle when I clean. Got it =]

Thanks!
