What's the reason to have a 52MM Lens Cap and a 52MM UV Protector !? why they put a 52MM Lens Cap and a 52MM UV on a 58mm kit [M-Reverse-58-Nikon-Kit RB2A + 58MM Macro Reverse Ring] the 52mm items are useless to the mainly items, aren't they ??

when you mount the lens on the camera backwards, you loose the original filter thread size as it is now attached to the camera side. the ring that takes the rear of the lens has an opening of 52mm so you need any filter, cap or hood ti be 52mm because you're attaching it to the adapter and not to the original filter thread on the lens.

The filter thread seems to be standard. I bought a stock 58mm UV filter, and it fit perfectly. You will need a new lens cap; the original won't fit on a 58mm filter. Also, if you currently use a lens hood, it won't fit either.

you will have to know the filter size of each lens. You will find this imprinted around the forward section of the lens barrel. a 55MM will have a different size filter than a 300MM. In short you will need to order the filter size specified on both lens. Now in order to avoid buying two different kits I would recommend you order the larger size kit that fits the 300MM lens and then purchase a set of step up rings which will allow you to use the larger filters on the smaller lens. I have had this kit for several months now and love it. I just read the first two answers and I don't believe they realize that the kit you're referring to is a filtering,macro kit and attaches to the lens as such. When you purchase this kit you can specify the filter size necessary. It comes in more sizes than 52MM which will not work with either of your lenses.

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.

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.

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'll take a guess too. It looks like they use the adapter ring to fit 67mm filters to avoid vignetting with the wide angle lense. Since the number 67 appears in the code for the adapter and the number 60 appears in the code for the lense hood, I'm "guessing" the lense has 60mm threads, which don't exist in any normal filter size.

thanks for posting that. had the camera for years, and forgot there was such a thing. finally got a UV filter, and was baffled as to why it didn't fit, when all the info I could find said 52 was the right size. fortunately, I did have the original box, with the accessories still in it.

Both 18-55mm and 55-250 mm lenses from Nikon have a filter size of 58mm and all these filters are 58mm, so you can use them without any issues. You can even use them with lenses of other filter sizes by employing the step-up and step-down rings (cost $5-10). However, personally, I would recommend not getting these filters and get the desired effect using filters and gradients in Photoshop.Hope this helps !!

Putting a filter (UV, polarizing, etc) to protect the glass is normally a good idea on a SLR/DSLR type camera, which have remove-able "normal" sort of lenses and are threaded to accommodate filters. However, when I looked up pictures of your Coolpix P520 online...it doesn't look like a "normal" remove-able lens, and I couldn't find a photo of it that showed any threading at the end of the lens, nor did I see any reference to the lens size. From what I'm reading, it looks like what you've got there is a digital point and shoot type camera, a good one, but not one that is going to accommodate filters. So, that's all I can come up with on a quickie search, you should contact Nikon about your question. Sorry couldn't be more helpful..good luck! Also, to clarify this product doesn't have any glass to it, its just a sizing ring to connect a 52mm lens to a 58mm filter. In my case I had some old 58mmfilters that I wanted to use with my new camera, so this adapter allowed that to happen..screwed the 58mm filters to the adapter, and then the adapter to the 52 mm lens.

Look inside one of your lens caps. It will say "52" or whatever the thread size is.

Yeah , I can now confirm it myself as well. The package includes the lens, 58mm to 52mm conversion ring, small bag and 2 covers for the both ends of the lens. I wonder why Amazon does not give accurate info in the technical details section.

All of the above. I wouldn't buy a new lens that didn't come with lens caps. The hood is a fixed (non-collapsible) one of limited usefulness, IMHO. The case is designed for the lens, more-or-less hard-sided, with carrying strap. The lens goes inside my camera pack, so I don't carry the case. The lens is great.

Check the filter size. It is specified by "" (the Cyrillic character phi). Each lens should have a number in millimeters following this symbol. That number is the filter size the lens will accept. I'm pretty sure that lens takes 52mm filters, so no the filter in question will be to large. Double check on the lens itself, it will be marked. On a unrelated note I buy all my filters " 77mm" then I use step up rings for every lens. For example my 35mm 1.8 dx which accepts " 52mm" has a 52mm-77mm step up ring. My 105 2.8 VR macro which is " 62mm" has a 62mm- 77mm step up ring. That was my 77mm fits both lenses eliminating the need to buy multiple copies of the same filter at a different thread size. Goja makes great step up rings for about 4$. I have one on every lens I own that isn't already " 77mm", but that's my personal preference. Hope this helps, Cheers

I don't use lens hood. I like flares. As far as caps, I like the included one. It's a pinch model like Nikon's.

Hello there my friend! Actually the lens hood adapter that came with the camera works perfectly fine with any 52mm filter. No need for you to buy a separate filter adapter. Just buy the filter that you need and screw it in the lens hood adapter. You're good to go!
