I have an SX40 the manual suggests 67mm filters instead of 58mm. Which is correct?

Annie, have no idea about which is correct. Just know that these filters do fit. Wish I could be of more help, but am not a techie person !

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.

The filters screw over your existing lens. If your camera has 58mm lens, make sure you ordered the kit that fits 58mm.

I believe this lens is the kit lens and is 58mm in diameter (look at the front of the lens). If so, you need a 58mm filter, not a 55mm.

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

you could probably google the model of your camera and it will have details there. Mine specifically says 58 mm on the rim. (I see on the picture it says 67 mm. Not sure about that because it fits mine.

Filter 39mm. Same as the 60mm xf. I bought mine on amazon Fuji manufactured it. If 39mm size no longer on amazon B&H; audio video will have it. Top line filters are made by B+W.

You first need to buy this adapter: Canon FA-DC67A Then you can use 67mm filter.

I have both an sx280 and sx50hs . The SX40hs (which I owned at one time) and sx50hs have adapter fittings that will allow one to use this and other close up filters however the sx280 and other sx series cameras do not have this feature. No adapter will fit so you can not use filters on thoes cameras. The size of the lense is too small.

The filter must match the lens diameter, not the focal length (ex: 18-55mm zoom). In the case of the (stock Canon EF-S 18-55 filter included with many ofthe Canon kits, this would be 58mm.

Why does Canon recommend 67 mm filter/adapter, when this one apparently works?

P. Hudson,I made it look confusing. I think the lense thread is 60mm. The adapter would be 60mm to 67mm to accept the 67mm filters. That's the best guess I can come up with.

Sorry, although there are filter threads on the front of this lens, I do not have any filter that will fit them. It is rather small on the front but even my 28-37 step up ring is not quite the same. I would say that perhaps a 40mm may be correct. I wish that I could be of more help.

Thank you so much for the information. I bought some 58mm filters and an adapter and have held them in front. I will look for some 37mm so I can do your workaround. Thank you for the information.

It depends on what the size of the lens you have. The ones that are in this kit are only 58mm filters. For me the lenses were to big for my 43 & 52mm lenses. But other than the filters the kit is fine. But I would search on amazon for the size of the lens (the size of the lens is on the outer rim of the lens) itself. Ex: 30mm, 32mm, 38mm, 40mm, 43mm, 45mm, 52mm, 58mm ect.. but again the lens in this kit are only 58mm and a upgrade ring to go from 58mm to 60mm

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.

Sorry, my camera is SX 50 hs, with my camera I have been use this acessorys with no problem!Very satisfied.I am not sure abot SX 40

Probably. The SX20 & SX40 had the same fittings. I am an amateur. I Think the 50x is an adjustment inside the zoom mechanism of the camera rather than at the lens. Suggest one might call B&H in New York 800-947-6628. They are some of the real experts in the market. (490 Ninth Ave. NYC 10001)
