Yes, it has 52mm threads. I'd put the filter in first, but if you're using a non-telephoto lens, the more you put between the lens and the good, the more likely you're going to catch some of the good in the frame. You're probably going to want to remove the good more often than the filter.

It will fit the lens itself, not the filter, so you would first put the lens hood on then the filter on the lens hood. Hoped this helped you!

Check your lens manual for filter size. Doesn't that lens come with a lens hood?

Nathan, I had to buy a ring adapter, it screws onto the end of your lens (58mm) then i bought the adapter ring that went from a 58mm down to a 52mm. Hope this helps.. the adapter ring is only a couple bucks plus shipping, if you go on ebay and watch u can pick then up for about $3-$4 and free shipping

I am using a 52mm UV filter on this camera. No problem. With a rubber hood there is a vignet problem at wide-angle. I ordered a 52mm to 67mm ring and a 67mm hood to take care of it.Great camera!

I ordered this Essential Accessory Kit, 58mm, fits & works fine. Didn't have any problems, adaptor ring snaps on quite easily. If you have difficulties with it contact the company they are great to work with. I had never used a lens hood before, they were very quick to respond and helpful in their answer.

this is the only thing u need. i attach my 52mm hood to it. But u first need to remove the ring around the camera (that is on by default that comes with the camera) then attach this to it. Hope that helps. It also means u cannot use the camera lens cap that came with it.

The rings are for different size lenses. Pick the one that fits the size of the lens. It screws on the end where the filter goes. There should be tiny threaded section for it to screw on to. Be careful not to get it cross threaded. Then the light ring slips on to the adaptor.

Hi Soozie, The adapter ring fits to the lens quite snugly, but there is a some amount of play. The filters/hood which screw onto the adapter ring are installed with about 1.5 turns - with no play.

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

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.

Yes, that lens has a 52mm diameter. It's the same lens I use with it.Edit... I have the 50mm f/1.8D AF lens. Should still work though. It's the same thing as screwing a UV filter on.

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

I had NO problem using the 52mm filters on my Lens.I use a neutral density filter to protect my lens.

My Canon-mount version also came with a hood, and the lens-cap (72mm) was for that. With the hood removed, I tried filter adapter rings on the lens, and found that 55mm seemed to be what fit -- so a lens cap for the lens itself should be 55mm.

ahh just to vary the answer, little tip, you can use a 62mm step up ring and use a larger (common filter) say 72 or 77 and that way you only spend a few dollars on different step up rings instead of buying diffrent filter size for all lenses. I have noted the filter size of the Fuji lenses I have: 14mm - 5823mm - 6235mm - 5256mm - 6260mm - 3955-200mm - 62

Steve, The size of the hood is the diameter of the ring that attaches it to the lens. I have a Nikon 18-55mm lens which has a diameter of 52mm. Check the underside of the lens cap, it is normally marked there, or if you have a filter on the lens it is the diameter of the filter. David
