When the lens is reversed, the part that normally connects to the camera (the back of the lens) is exposed to dust and other hazards (including accidentally getting too close to a macro subject). The 52mm filter and lens cap fit on the back of the lens to protect the back of the lens when the lens is reversed.

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.

A 58mm kit means a 58mm lens reversing ring for Nikon F mount (to screw on a 58mm filter-size lens and mount in a Nikon F mount camera) and 52mm filter-size accessories (UV filter and cap) to protect the exposed inner face of the lens. Why 52mm? Because that is enough for the Nikon F bayonet mount, regardless of the lens. So, a 67mm kit would be a 67mm lens reversing ring and 52mm UV filter and cap.

I use a UV Protector to save my lens from dust & scratches during shoots & Lense Cap saves it when the lens is kept in the bag or while carrying.

I bought a 58 mm lens cap. It fits fine. I brought a cheap one because I wasn't sure it would fit, it does and I'm sorry I didn't get a better 58mm cap.

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.

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

Once the adapter ring is installed a lens cap cannot be used. The flash sticks out a ways, so it provides a good bit of protection for the lens.

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

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.

i have the same question,i have 52mm filter kit but it does not fit in my 18-55 mm lens for my nikon d1500?any suggestions?

Mine was ordered specifically for a 58mm lens and fits great as well as works great. The quality is good when used with another macro lens such as the kit 18-55mm however it will be unable to produce images with a 75-300 mm lens these are the only two I have so it may work with others. As far as MM you need to look at what the manufacturer states it is compatible with. Like I said I bought mine for a 58mm. I hope this answers you question, good luck.

No - The Reverse ring is 58mm & the lens is 52mm diameter Find this item in 52mm diameter rather

The macros fit the 18-55mm lens, but the UV filters do not, even with the adapter. The adapter does not fit the 18-55mm lens. It's my fault for not checking the details, now I have to throw the UV filters away and order different ones.

Hi Laura, 52mm is the len's width at the glass of the lens. Usually with zoom lenses you mentioned they are around 72mm or larger. You can check and see, just look at the front of your lens (maybe on the side) and look for a mm number. This 52mm ring will fit up to 50mm lenses, so it probably will not work for you. Hope that helps!

This ring has male threads on both sides. It enables you to put two lenses together for macro-photography. Normally you would use a small prime lens mounted in reverse in front of a longer lens, such as a 50mm lens in front with a perhaps 100mm lens(or a zoom) mounted on the camera in the normal way. Your brand of camera is irrelevant as the ring screws into the lens and is not attached directly to the camera. You are then using the prime lens mounted in reverse as a substitute for a closeup filter. Generally people use this setup to get magnifications higher than 1:1. You can use this ring in conjunction with a step-up ring if necessary to adjust to your particular pair of lenses.

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

The lens hood will help help to prevent lens flair and help protect both the lens and UV filter from dings. The UV filter will protect the lens from dust and scratches, and in that way serve the purpose of a lens cap.

The Macro Reverse isn't actually a lens - it's simply an adapter that allows your 50mm lens to be used in reverse for a macro effect. I would say it is equivalent to a 90 - 100 mm 1:1 macro. Here's a good article that may help: http://tinyurl.com/rev-macro

You actually need to look for the diameter of the lens. There is a symbol for diameter which is a circle with a slash through it and then it should say 52 or 77 or some number. That is the diameter so you look for that size mm lens cap. My camera is a 67mm diameter. I know this company has different sizes available.
