Apologies if this is an idiotic question...

After putting my sticky fingers all over my lens because I thought the lens cap was on when it wasn't, I did a bit of research and have ordered a couple of filters - a UV, Skylight and Circular Polarising filter.

The UV filter will probably stay on the camera all the time, so what I wondered was whether the standard D70 lens cap would still attach to the filter, or whether I will need to take the filter off to put a lens cap on?

Also, does anyone have any lens cleaning advice? Reading about it seems to suggest that a lens pen is best, but some people say not to use these?

Thanks, and apologies again if these are stupid questions!
