Not sure what kind of camera you are using Andreas, but I do know that Cokin, Tiffen, Quantaray and Hoya all make filters and I have even used a few of them.

There are also more creative filters out there on the market. Like star filters, rainbow filters etc. Where did you buy your camera? That is usually where I buy filters for my lenses. You also might try the site for your manufacturer, ie: if you had a Sony, go to www.Sony.com or if you had a Nikon maybe www.Nikon.com? I am not sure what is available for the prosumer digitals, but I do know they make them.

I personally have sky filters on all of my lenses for protection against breakage, I would rather lose a $15 filter then a $500 lens, they don't guarantee against breakage, but if the camera is dropped and it lands on the edge of the lens you might lose the filter and not the lens. They also help keep dirt off of the actual lens, so you just clean the filter. I buy them whenever I buy a new lens.

Hope that helps some!
