Here's a few...

Whenever I get an enthusiast model, I look to see if a barrel tube adapter can be added to both protect the lens and perhaps add other lenses and/or filters. I personally use it just to protect the lens.

There is one particular barrel tube (well, the only one I've found on eBay) that does the trick and is of high quality. The link to it is here:

List of barrel tube adapters from eBay

Since I have no clue as to where you live - in the event you're in the US, you can get the barrel tube adapter (at a decent price compared to those Chinese locations) at:

US eBay vendor for this Barrel Tube Adapter

With regards to what you can attach to this barrel tube - sure, you can attach a 52 MM filter, but I don't know if that would be a good idea (with the filter glass that far away from the front barrel you might run into glare and flare issues (who knows).

As for optional lenses to attach to this barrel tube adapter (they do make them but they're almost impossible to find - you'll have to do a worldwide search)

Here's what the tube looks like (yes, it adds size to your camera, but I'll tell you, it provides protection from the sun's rays (especially from the side), and also protects your lens should you drop the camera while the lens is extended.  It's well made (metal).
