Sony VF-30SC Special Effect Filter Kit 30MM

Average rating: Stars

Lens cap not included - sony TRV14-33 lens cap doesn't fit.

I bought this lens filter kit in May 2004 for my Sony digtal video TRV33. They work fine, but you cannot protect the filters since the Sony lens cap does not fit !! So you need to un-screew the lenses each time after use. The reason I bought the kit was primarily to protect the carl zeiss lens for scrathces etc. via putting on the UV-filter... But now the UV-filter gets scratched since the lens cap cannot protect the UV-filter. Sony never replied to me about this and so far it is NOT possible to buy a 30mm lens cap from sony (or anywhere else apparantly). I have called and visited MANY photoshops, but so far no luck. I have therefore almost not used the kit and that's simply not good enough, that Sony doesn't put in a lens cap with the kit !!! If anyone can tell me where I can get a 30mm lens cap I'd be happy :-) Others than that, the kit is nice, but only 2 stars due to the lacking lens cap and therefore the limited use.. or the work with screewing the filters on and off each time you use them so they don't get scratched... Maybe it's only with the Sony TRV14-33 series of video cams, I'm not sure about that.
NB: I live in Denmark, but bought the kit in USA.
