The most important part is the adapter ring. After turning the camera on (lens comes forward) the adapter fits over the raised ridges and turns about 90 degrees. Then the 58 mm filters screw onto the adapter. I would post pictures if I could. Look at the ridges around the end do the lens. Hope this helps

The SX50 requires an adaptor ring in order to make use of 58mm diameter lens accessories. Something like this: 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

well, it's all metal, no other play rather than what you see on the photo. I think it's good for fun shots, I mostly use it with my Nikon's 50mm and it's good. The aperture change ring is a bit soft so you can mistakenly change the aperture without you noticing it . I believe of it's price it's worth it.

It is metal. It is a nice product, but the finish on the tube is slightly wavy. Not bad but could be better. The red filter turns gray after a few weeks.

It´s glass, the ring is metal and it is pretty good quality. Easy to instal and won´t fall when you close or turn the camera off.

My adapter ring had threads to screw into the end of the lens. You have to be very careful, so to not cross thread it and ruin it while attaching the ring. But mine screwed into place and has been very useful. I keep the UV filter on all the time, so I don't scratch the lens.

The Canon S95 has a METAL CASE except for the top and bottom plates which are polycarbonate - as in football helmets? The Ring around the lens is also Metal.It may "feel" cheap because it weighs ONE-THIRD of the Panasonic LX-5. If you believe that Heavy things are better then dip it in lead.[Sorry to be brusque but usually people buy a camera for the quality of the pictures and not for its "styling".]

It's a metal ring with a rubber gasket. It takes a bit to get it around the barrel of the f2.8 but it fits snugly. The foot is smaller than the Canon foot and it does not allow the lens barrel to turn easily when you loosen the screw. That can be a hassle if you have to switch between portrait and landscape while on a tripod or monopod but that's a minor annoyance unless doing so is a big part of your shooting. For the price it is well worth it. The Canon brand ring is something like 4 times as expensive and I don't think it is anywhere near 4 times better. I'd recommend this one.

Dear Customer, The adapter ring that is included in this kit is designed for Canon SX500 IS camera lens, the ring will allow you to attach any 52mm threaded filter, step-up ring or macro lens to your camera model. Since the adapter is mounted on the very front of the lens. Have a great day. Sincerely, Customer Service

The adapter ring has to come off of the camera in order to install any filters. It is there to protect the threads. I'm not sure, but I don't think you need to remove it to use just a lens hood.

The lens adaptor ring does not have any other elements within its geometry. You must screw a filter into the holder.

The kit has an adaptor ring that screws into the lens of the sx40. If you look into your lens you can see the threads. The adaptor ring is metal as well. Then the filters and lens mounts to the adaptor ring. Nice. Jeff

This ring flash comes with 7 separate adapter rings that fit most standard size lens. I don't know what size filter your 50mm f/1.8 takes, but I'm pretty sure there is one that fits. The adpater rings are made of plastic, and are fairly flimsy, but they do the job and will last if you treat them carefully.

It is metal, feels light like aluminum but is most likely some sort of pot metal. It is sturdy. There is a thin foamed protector taped to each half ( clam shell ) of the clamp. It's not quite canon quality but it is good quality, much cheaper then a canon mount if you can find one. I've been happy with it. I'll try to post a couple of pictures.
