Won't any 58mm filters screw on directly to the SX40 without an adapter?

No, the SX40 is 52mm so if you want to use a 58mm filter then you require and adapter that is 52mm thread on the end that attaches to the camera and 58mm thread on the other end to attach the 58mm filter. As for this particular item that you are looking at I did buy it for the filter only as the lens isn't very good, its a definite you get what you pay for thing. However Goja sells the adapter by itself and its pretty cheap, I bought an adapter for each filter I own because if you torque this even a bit too much it gets stuck to the lens and well that can mess up a shoot if you are required to changed filters for any reason or if the lens gets scratched and you want to replace it.

You didn't listen (read and comprehend): The SX40 is not threaded. It is a bayonet fitting - very nearly the identical diameter as a threaded, so a threaded item will turn into it - but is not matching a thread, just held by irregularities in the surface. It is not as strong as a mating of threads. If you just wanted to insult someone, why not be more honest about it? Sorry I wasted my time in responding to someone with such a superior and condescending attitude - especially since you don't know what you are talking about.

The SX-40 mount is a bayonet mount, not threaded. It is hard to see, but that is the issue. You can screw in a threaded adapter, but it will probably damage the threads, and could come loose unexpectedly, it it will only be jammed in, not held by proper threads.

I bought the kit last year. Adapter, filters and cap work fine in the Canon SX40 HS. The ruber hood does not, as cuts the corners in 24 mm lens setting. I am very satisfied with this kit. Excellent cost/benefit.

I have never seen an adaptor with additional screws. The ones I have used screw into the lens and receive the filter on the outer diameter with screw threads that match the filter's

The lens end does not have threads to accommodate installation of the filters so I sent back. I don't understand the responses saying the filters fit: they don't.

I am not sure. Note that that amazon sells another adapter ring for the sx40 that is slightly cheaper than the one for the sx50. You might try to get in touch with Digital Goja, Amazon's supplier of these particular rings.

Hi Soozie,The sx 50 adapter ring has one side threaded, As you may have already noticed, the SX cameras don't have traditional lens threads found on DSLRs, but rather "grooves". The SX ring adapter should fit by attaching it to the grooves with a bit of mild pressure. Then a 1/4 turn and the adapter should be securely fitted on to the lens.Customer Service Team

They didn't fit my sx40hs and I couldn't find an adaptor, so I sent them back.

There has been a LOT of discussion about the auxiliary filter (or extender lens) adapter for the SX30IS over on the DPReview Canon Forum. Guy named Bradly has one and has installed the tele extender lens (Olympus TCON-17) that I have been using with my Panasonic FZ50. Here's a link to get you going to pull out all the required info.

The filters screw onto the lens. These fit 49mm lens filter threads only. Maybe your lens filter threads are a different size.

I have an SX30 and they work on it. They have a 52 mm thread so if the sx50 has a 52 mm thread it should work.

Thanks to BruceH! I ordered a set of lenses and filters that say they're for the Canon SX30is, thinking if an adapter were needed it would be either mentioned or included. Should've read this first! They're all 52mm, and none of them fit. Looks like I'll be returning them and starting over with the recommended adapter.

Call up the Vello Free Wave hyperlink (top of page) and look at the 7th item down the list. There is a SX50 listed as compatible, so it should work on a SX40. Dave

The kit includes adapter rings for most popular-sized lenses. You should have no problems. Just screw it on as you would a filter, attach the filter holder, and slide in the square filter you want to use.

The camera is not threaded so a screw in filter or lens hood is not available. There are kits available that fit over the lens barrel that come with a lens hood and various filters, though I have not tried these myself.

No, it did not fit on my sx50 hs. I tried for an hour, and then the next day, but it still didn't work. I used it instead on my wife's sx40 and it fits, so, I did not have to return it. I bought another much more expensive filter from Hoya 58mm that includes an adapter ring. I do not remember anymore where I bought it.
