When you say a 'Filter Lens', what kind of filter is it?

There are literally hundreds of different lenses out there. The most common one to use is a Polarising Filter.

on ebay, are these any good? looking at the UV Filters, and the wide angle more, possibly the TELE 2x or 3x are these any good?

Sorry to hijack your thread!

I've got some for my S5800, a +4, a Circular Polariser, and a UV filter. they are 46mm, make sure you check in the manual for the correct filter size.

The circular polariser is awesome, it gets rid of glare on glass, and on water, very useful.
Natural Density filters are meant to be good, too.

i was thinking UV, but what ever is recommended

UV filters are really just lens protection. They won't affect your images too much. The others mentioned in here will though. They can be used for all sorts of interesting jiggery pokery.

UVs are boring, if you've got a hood on you don't really need them as most objects will be stopped by the hood.
Also remember polarisers are UV filters too!
