Can I screw a hood over this filter?

If you have a Hood on the lens, how would you adjust the CPL filter? I'm sure the hood fit over the filter.

Filters come with only the threads that are needed to fit it on the lens. They do not have threads to hold the hood or anything else. Typically third party hoods come with threads whereas the Canon or Nikon hoods are snap on fit hoods. So if you have a third party hood you can either use it or the filter, not both. Snap hoods are the best as they would accomodate the filter as well.

The filter outer diamater is the same as the lens hence your hood still be attasch on the lens not on the filter

Your question applies to the 55mm Tiffen polarizer. However, I can say that the 58mm Tiffen does have its own set of outward facing threads, and I have screwed a hood into the filter whilst screwed into a Fujifilm HS30EXR.

My filter is larger, but I assume similar. I assume your lens hood somehow screws inside the lens barrel. If it's external, this filter won't work. I believe the threads are a major weakness with Tiffin filters. Mine sports a front thread that's very shallow, so I doubt a lens hood would have much to hold on to.

yes its the perfect one the only issue if we put filter you cannot use the hood.

You should be able to, it isn't easy but you can thread the filter on after the hood is attached to the camera. I use a CPL for most of my Auto photography and it isn't conducive to that, but there are few lens hoods that are. If you don't need to adjust the filter that you are installing I don't see why there would be any issue using any filter with this hood. It isn't the easiest thing to take on and off, just make sure that you depress the buttons on the side to retract the bayonets. I think that is what others that left bad reviews on this hood were having.

- the outer thread of the hood will accommodate a 55mm filter - do not have a 56mm filter to try, so not sure how close the tolerances are -

The lens hood screws into the filter threads. The lens hood comes with a lock ring which holds the hood in place.

I bought the bracket that is manufactured for the filter and the screws came with the bracket. They are a short lag type screw the thread right into the plastic. Exact size I'm not sure.

Hello, It fits fine on mine. The filter has an internal tread so it's outside dimension is exactly the same size as the outside of the lens. I have not had any issues with the hood showing up in pictures. I don't think you can put it on wrong, but the shorter flanges should orient side to side. Hope this helps...

not really, but get some 3M adhesive hooks,and attach them to hood, problem solved.

Yes you can. But make sure you fit the filter holder with strong screws as this filter will get too heavy then EZ1.

I neglected to add that the measurement was taken from the lens not the protective UV filter I purchased for the lens. I am somewhat puzzled by Anthony A's response to your question. The original Nikon lens hood designed for this lens is also a clip on not a screw in hood.

This type of hood has an intermediate ring that screws into the filter thread and it has a lock ring to position the hood. If the filter fits, the hood fits. Whether the hood will or won't mask the corners depends on the focal length of the lens. I cannot help you more than that. For the price it's not a great risk! Good luck.

Not really, it simply clips around an outer grove the is fairly common on the rim of most lenses.However, some filter brands offer a threaded adapter ring to combine multiple filters together, and some even have built in coupler threads. In either case, this hood leaves plenty of room for additional modification.

No, no problems whatsoever. Maybe you should reinforce it with a little bit of scotch tape around the part inserted into the filter base.

This hood is for a specific Nikon lens. It's not a screw-in hood and has no threads. It won't fit a lens it wasn't designed for. The hood has spring-loaded tabs that match a groove on the lens rim. The hood slips over and slightly behind the front of the lens. The tabs snap into the groove and hold fast. The lens's existing threads are unencumbered and filters may be installed or removed as needed. In any case, you shouldn't place any filters on a hood. Filters should be placed as close to a lens's front element as feasible to minimize any internal reflections and optical artifacts.

It's not the camera body that makes a difference it is what mm the lens is. So match the "mm" number on the hood with the "mm" number on your lense(s) to find out if it will fit and yes, you can have filters on the lens with a hood on. :)

Yes. Just trim the pack plastic strip to fit around the filter. Very easy to do.

The filter housing could be opened by hand...but if you have a hard time opening it, try to wrap cloth around the housing, then use a wretch to open it
