What does the 55, 65, &amp; 75mm size referre to? I would assume the diameter of the lens focus ring. The diameter of my 24-105 Canon L is almost 85mm

It does refer to the diameter of your lens, if you are unsure or want to double check, look on the inside of your lens cap!

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

Both should fit, i usually carry my canon 24-105 f4. which is a little over 5 inches tall, and 3.25 inches wide. it fits very comfortably, with a little room to spare even. a swap between the 24-105 and the canon 16-35 f2.8 is perfectly comfortable with both lenses in the case while its open. my 16-35 is 5.25 inches tall and 3.25 inches at the wide end. The internet tells me both your lenses are about the same size as mine, so it should work perfectly for you!

I owned the 50D and now own a 7D. I have had my 17-55 f/1.8 IS for over 2 years. I bought the 24-105 a year ago to replace my 17-55 hahaha yea let me say right now I am not selling my 17-55 and when shooting indoors the 17-55 f/2.8 is will be my first choice over the 24-105 f/4 IS. Indoors f/4 is slow period. I ended up buying a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 to shoot indoors for low light and I LOVE it. Anyways on a crop body I would pick the 17-55 f/2.8 IS over the 24-105 f/4 IS for indoors unless its a really well lit room or I am using my 580 EXII. I am leaning to primes anymore and would recommend the 17-55 f/2.8 for you. Another option is Sigma 30 f/1.4 and the Canon 85 f/1.8 and you spend less then either of those lenses heck you can throw in a 50 f/1.8 and have 3 lenses for the price of 1 if you don't mind switching lenses.

Is the 18-105 worth buying over the 18-55mm any day. Especially you going to use with D5200. If you more money why not go for 18-200mm VRII or 18-300mm VRII. They are all around lenses. Good luck!

Hi, If I'm answering you're question correctly, the diameter of the focus ring (the moveable part) is about 72mm. If this sounds incorrect let me know and I'll send a photo to discuss further

Hi John,If light is an issue, you would definitely need a lens with f2.8 or less. and with 24-105 you can at best get f4.0 so I believe you will have to choose between quality and range.If you want quality in low light conditions then go for the 24-70 mm. If range is a greater priority then you can go for the 24-105 f/4.0 L IS

The 50 is probably more often referred to as a "standard" lens and works great. The 35 is slightly wider and often used for portraits of more than just one person (when you need to fit more people in the frame). Keep in mind that if you have a camera with an ASP-C sensor (or a "crop sensor"-- this is the Rebel line of Canon canons as well as the 7D, etc), the 50mm is closer to a (1.6 x 50 =) 80mm due to the smaller sensor and a 35 looks closer to a (35 x 1.6=) 56mm lens. What I would suggest before dropping a lot of money on the 35L or 50L is to see what range you use more or what looks better on your camera. Most Canon cameras come with an 18-55 or 24-105 lens. Zoom that lens to the 35mm mark and use that for a day and see how it works. Then do the same thing with the lens at the 50mm mark. If you find that 50 is too narrow or 35 is too wide, there is no sense in dropping $1000+ on a focal length you aren't likely to use.

If you take a look at the front of any lens you will see numbers indicating the millimeters and the F range, these numbers have nothing to do with the size of the filters the lens will accept. Usually there is a separate number set apart from the lens type numbers that indicates the proper size filter to purchase. On my lens I see a O with a forward slash through it (sorry I don't know how to type that symbol) followed by the number 55, so I use a 55 mm filter.

Sorry for not getting back to you. But I don't know. I assume you have searched online for an answer. The 55 mm size is not that common for a "normal lens"; 49 and 52mm are more common. For larger lenses, frequently 58mm and sometimes 72mm. I would suggest that you visit a camera shop and try on some lens caps. Best Buy and places like that sell lens cap replacements but mostly the common sizes. Assuming you don't find an correct answer, you will at least know it is larger than X and smaller than Y which should be good info.

The 24-105mm will absolutely kill anything you can get out of the 28-135. It's not just about sharpness - which will improve in the 24-105. It's also the contrast and the colour rendition. Believe me its chalk and cheese. Having said that, the 24-105 L IS is still not in the same class as either of Canon's L 70 - 200's either f4 or 2.8. But longer those longer lenses are easier to build. At the long end (200+) Canon rules.

On mine the lens adaptor takes 58mm. I don't think Canon has changed the design since I got mine, but if you're in doubt take it to a photo shop and they can tell you for sure what size you need.

Well, the smaller ring in front is the focus ring. The larger ring is manual zoom.BTW, this is a spectacular lens! I've taken some excellent photos with it, hand-held on full zoom

Dear buyer: In order for me to help with this matter I will need to know what's the diameter of your camera lens. This information can be located in the back of your lens protection cap. Remove your cap to check on this number. You can also see this number on the front of your lens. You will recognize it because it has a symbol of a small circle with a line crossing it and the diameter number follows it. Please forward me this number so that I can further assist you,thank you

50mm is referencing one of many lenses focal lengths (you could call it the zoom range). The 58mm is in reference to the thread size that you would screw your lens filters on to, such as a UV or a Circular Polarizer, etc. If I look at my 50mm 1.4 lens, at the ring around the large lens element that the filters thread on to, I see 50mm and 58mm printed. The 58mm has next to it an 'o' marking with a vertical line through it to show that it is a filter thread size. Hope this helps - happy shooting, friend ;)

It fits on the lens just fine but is too long to use at only 55mm zoom. It will show up in the shot. It's fine at maybe 75mm on out.
