Yes,
I have read from others that a filter is not necessary.
A lens hood was reccomended thou, A metal lens hood so can leave it on the lens with a cap on.
Instead of those rubber lens hood which have to remove before keeping your camera.
I managed to search alot of kind of metal lens hood.
But there is standard, tele & wide.
Which should i get for my FA 50?
Also, Would a hood be necessary for my kit lens as well?
The rubber hood i have is a screw in type allowing you to use filters, and the front cap to be used with the hood attached , just need to pull out and push it back down when not in use
