Cap Lens Filters

can a camera lens cap go OVER/ONTOP of a lens filter?
For my rebel lenses I was going to get filters (58mm by canon UV filters) mainly for protection, especially on my expensive lenses. This may be a stupid question, but can you still put the lens cap on top of the filter?
Mike,
Yes, you can put a lens cap on over a UV (or other) lens filter. Just be sure the lens cap mm dimensions are appropriate for the size of the filter (which should be the same size as the front of your camera lens). [I buy non-brand lens caps with tethers to attach to the camera so I don't drop them in the heat of the shooting moment].
UV filters work just fine & dandy to protect good lenses (for those of us who don't like to use lens hoods & somehow manage to avoid lens flare....). But be sure you get a high quality UV filter. The 'cheapie' ones could degrade the quality of your images. And, why spend a lot on a great lens only to dampen down its capabilities with an unequal filter...
Good luck! Take care.
