I thought the HS50 was a fixed lens bridge camera. How do you use the lenses included in the kit?

Harvey, They screw on to the front of the lens like a filter. I have experimented with both sets of lens and they seem to well. You'll need the tripod for the 2X and maybe the macro lenses.

This is true. The lens included is not removable. The additional lenses and filters screw onto the end of the fixed lens. I am a hobbyist photographer at best and believe this camera is well-suited to my needs. I have yet to need lenses above and beyond the ones included in this kit. I will say, this camera takes very good pictures, but may not be suited to a more serious photographer. Hope that helps.

The HS50 is a fixed lens camera but it has the ability to allow for you to twist (screw) on extension lenses and filters on the front of the lens in the same way a DSLR lens does without having to use any kind of special adapters. And with the Manual Zoom the extra weight of these does add extra wear lessening the life of the camera as it would with a motorized zoom. This was one of the reasons I purchased the HS50 rather than one of the other Bridge cameras as this adds so much to the camera's versatility and with no additional cost for specialized adapters.

Hi Debi,The lens kit comes with a 58mm adaptor ring and all of the lenses are 58mm.I use only 58mm filters on my sx50hs.I hope this was the answer you were looking for.

Hi, this is a lens adapter, you must have a 50 mm lens , attach the adapter to the lens and then attach it to the camera.

You actually can buy different lenses for these type of cameras with a fixed lens. If you go to www.opteka.com and then click on the section labeled lens adapters then click on the opteka lens adapter tube for digital camera and then you just select whatever camera you have and purchase it! Then whatever screw mount it is for your cameras tube you could then attach any lens that is that screw mount! It's a great thing and its only 15 dollars. Very much worth It if you are going to use this camera for a while and want to get creative

The 58 mm lens conversion should work for the SX 40HS as well as for the SX50 HS. Recommend to buy the kit from Goja as it has the best customer service if something goes wrong.

Dear customer: I believe the Canon SX50 SH requires a tube adapter in order to attach additional lenses and/or filters.

Just make sure you get the o ring connector with it, you should, I am very pleased with the lens, and I have the dsc h2, Make sure you set the settings on the camera for the tele lens, sometimes enlarged images are dark, make sure subject has light from behind, i get some brilliant and excellent shots ! There is a picture i took with this lens, click my name to see

I have an HS30 and it didn't work. I ended up returning this item. I don't know about your camera but my experience with a camera with a fixed lens is it does not take anything that will do something the camera is not designed to do in the first place.

I got Canon SX30is(well,last Nov). I was fairly satisfied except inability of continual shooting(1.3 frame/sec.)picture quality(PQ) not so good but acceptable for 1/2.33 sensor,720 HD video is good, but Sony came out with HX100 30X zoom with rapid shooting,1080 HD and Finepix HS20,now Nikon P500 with 1080 HD, 22.5mm-810mm lens which is due for sale on March 3rd in Japan. I'm tempted,but what do I do with Canon....

The adaptor introduces 52mm threads onto this camera (Canon SX40). "Lenses" can be screwed on but because this is an auto focus long zoom unit, one would never attempt to mount another lens (such as in a DSLR). These cameras do not interchange their lens. The kit is for filter rings, lens protectors, etc. I think you can buy screw in magnifying disks for those that wish to experiment in ++macro photography, but that'sas close to a "lens" as you'll get with these super zoom cameras. So, NO not like a DSLR.

This kit includes a special case that has the ring on which you would screw on the various lenses. You will have to remove the phone from your case and place it in the case included with the kit. Then you are able to use the telephoto and other lenses included. I usually just snap it back in my personal case when I'm finished shooting.

This particular type of camera (a bridge camera) doesn't offer different interchangeable lenses. You can get these features such as wide-angle, fish eye etc. via menu selections.

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.

Thank you for your time. In regards to your inquiry, lenses would be needed for this particular camera. This kit is typically purchased by individuals who already own compatible lenses

just for wi-fi transfer, don't think I ever used that feature. It was a wonderful camera, until the lens became impossible to close. Didn't have a good experience with Customer service, they sent me an estimate that was more than twice what the camera cost me. The following phone conversation was very poor on their side, bottom line, within a few weeks of not having a pocket camera I bought a Fujifilm's T500, and it's HS 50.

Mine did the same thing but pretty much all the way thru the zoom function. I sent it back and ordered the HS50EXR glad I did, zooming is real smooth, focus is faster ect. Well worth the extra cost.

Hi, as far as I can tell you need a filter adapter ring as the one found in kits like Essential Accessory Kit for CANON PowerShot SX50 HS Digital Camera - Includes: 58MM Lens Adapter Ring + Vivitar Filter Kit (UV, CPL, FLD) + Carry Pouch + Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood + Center Pinch Lens Cap + MagicFiber Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth or similar, once the adapter is in place you can use 58mm gear with the camera.
