If I want to add a UV protection filter to this lens, what size must I buy? 58mm or 67mm?

Just the same size of the lens. I hardly ever use uv filters. If I do only black/wht filter. I have heard some people even stack 4 etc... why!! If concerned about protecting the lens for a certain photo shoot then yes put one filter on. I have a Canon also. Like them both. Nikon a little better. Buy this one or the D7100. Hope this helps you. Diana

a 52mm fits, but I was not happy with the ghosting I got with the UV filter I used. I am opting to not use a filter, as I really do not think this lens was designed to function with one.

Most likely not.... the way I see it, the specs on the filter need to match the spec on your lens. I got a 67mm since my lens' spec was 67mm. If you could find a 50mm filter (and there should plenty out there), you should prefer that.

Hi CAPT W. The size UV filter that you need is 52mm. I found that Nikon 35mm camera stranded lens are 52mm. However, wide angle, fisheye, and telephoto lens are different in size. For example, telephoto lens over 250mm use a 58mm filter. I hope that this helpful.

The 52mm filters will be to small for your lens, you would have to get the 67mm filters for it to work, and yes they do have them in the 67mm size.

My 58mm B+W UV filters both came in a 77mm case... they slide around a lot horizontally, but I don't think the glass ends up touching anything..

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

You need to check the diameter of your lens. This should be given on the front of your lens in small type - a circle with a vertical line (meaning diameter) through it followed by two digits - such as 77mm. Match that diameter to filters and lens hoods. I use this lens hood myself with a UV filter in place.

The Canon 70-300mm L Series Lens is 67mm in diameter as stated and thus requires a filter that is also 67mm in diameter. A 55mm lens filter will only fit lenses that are 55mm in diameter.

Sigma makes several models of their 70-300mm lens. Without the specific model, I am unable to determine which filter is needed. The couple of models that I reviewed on Amazon indicate the they use the 58mm filter NOT 52mm filter.

58mm filter size. If new, the lens will come with a twist-on hood. You should always use the supplied hood, even though it will add 2.5 inches to the length of the already large lens. (It does reverse for storage) If you use the hood you will not need a filter for protection, first element will be far enough back to avoid damage. I found squeezing my fingers into the hood to apply the lens cap a hassle, so I wrapped the front edge of the hood with two layers of black electricians tape and now the top from a contained of "I can't believe it's not butter" fits perfectly on the outside. Looks Mickey Mouse, but I don't care.

I got 58mm. But you should ask amazon first, it says it's 77mm on the picture...

I could not find the filter size in any of the Canon documentation. On a forum I read it is a bayonet mount, which means you need a converter to fit filters. The converter I found - which support my initial idea it has not filter thread, but bayonet: Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (Compatible with Canon 67mm Filters: Circular Polarizing PL-C B, Protect Filter). So with this bayonet-to-filter adapter you can use 67 mm filters. The adapter costs 22 USD at Adorama; 26.50 USD on Amazon, but you can buy a fake one of Bower: http://www.amazon.com/Bower-FA-DC67A-Adapter-PowerShot-Digital/dp/B0057G2TH4/ I would go for the Bower and then add a nice 67 mm UV and a 67 mm polarizing filter (if you like punchy blue skies).

The filter size for this lens is 58mm. Any filter that size will work with this lens.

The focal of the lens (18-55mm) does not help you buy choose a filter. You need to get the OD (diameter) of your lens

Your 55mm lens will require a 58mm filter size and your 300mm lens will require a 77mm filter size, both can be found here on amazon
