Hi Ecke, I have transparent lens caps (AKA UV Filters) on all my lenses. As with all lens caps they can be taken off when necessary to improve your picture, but are far cheaper to replace than a front element of a 60-250 or 12-24 lens, and I tend to take pictures in some really silly places at times.
It's worth the money to buy a good quality one, though I have had a couple of Hoya filters show markings possibly due to salt spray - though I can't be sure. I'd got for Pentax or B&W if they are available near you - I'm going to order from B&H from now on as Pentax and B&W filters are near impossible to get in Australia.
