what size UV filter do you purchase for this camera? I was previously advised 52mm, but the 52mm doesn't fit.. should it be 37mm?

I only use one lens for this camera, the 20 mm F1.7 prime lens, for which I do not use filters. I've never used UV filters and have not missed them.

U usually fit the filters on lens, not cam... Then it depends on your lens... Doesn't it?

You cannot buy a filter for the camera, you have to buy it for the lens you have attached, which in this case (14-42) is 37mm filter. There are other very good lenses for this camera which will use 46mm (14mm, 45-175mm), 52mm(20mm, 14-45mm, 45-200mm & 45-150mm), 58mm(12-35mm, 35-100mm), 67mm (100-300mm) and more. So check the lens the 14-42 motorized (the small one) is 37mm, the 14-42mm manual (the large one) is 46mm

The lens you are referring to uses a 62mm filter. This filter comes in various sizes.

Dear Narmina, are you asking for the kit lens? Then it is a 40.5mm thread size. Otherwise, it will depend on the lens, as each e-mount lens has a different thread size. I don't know how much you know about photography, but having a multi-coated UV filter ALL the time is always a good idea to protect the lens (unless you have another filter on it, of course). I tend to have the UV and a Circular Polarizer for most of my glass. B+W and Hoya are my preferred brands (Tiffen would come third, with some good filter too). There's no point buying a good lens and putting a cheap filter on top of it. Hope it helps.

Try to find a 37mm lens cap, if not possible replace with a 37mm UV filter, I use it, instead of the lens cap.

52mm is the thread size. Just simply look on the end of your lens, there should be a circle with a dash through it, that's the filter diameter measurement.

Just the same size of the lens. I hardly ever use uv filters. If I do only black/wht filter. I have heard some people even stack 4 etc... why!! If concerned about protecting the lens for a certain photo shoot then yes put one filter on. I have a Canon also. Like them both. Nikon a little better. Buy this one or the D7100. Hope this helps you. Diana

The filter is not included, but any 52mm should work. There are some on Amazon for 5-10 dollars.

There are filter adapters now on Ebay, just a simple 38mm to 52mm or 55 mm for about $14. I got one and attached a 52mm UV protective filter, and bought a replacement 52mm Nikon "real" lens cap. I also got a 52mm polarizer, so i'm all set for now. The threads won't hold any accessory lenses, but they are solid enough for a protective filter.Jason

My Len size is a 52mm, so I bought a 52mm filter. I didn't need anything special attactment for it. I just screwe it on. Check on your Len to see what size Len you have.

Yes, any filters with 52mm diameter should be fine, but lens hoods will give you black spots on certain focal lengths.

Go to the Canon website/and look up your camera's specifications../Look for the Filter size= ?I believe that Fotodiox model is 37mm.

I too own a Coolpix 520 and had lots of problems like you are - its a 58mm. Bought a uv filter and went through several before found the right size.

You would have to look at your lens and see if it takes a 62 mm filter. Usually it is stamped somewhere on the lens.

I used the hood to protect the front element as I didn't like running a UV filter. You can find the hood on eBay (not Sony brand) for less than 150. They even have rangefinder leica style hoods

Yes. The filter size is 37mm. I am using a TIFFEN 37mm UV Protector Filter to protect and prevent dust from going into the lense. I bought the filter from Amazon.

I purchased the polorizer on AMAZON. Here is the info Opteka 58mm High Definition² Multi-Coated Circular Polarizing Glass Filter Sold by: 47th Street Photo As for the UV filter I just used one that I had on another Canon camera . As long as its 58mm it will fit. Don' t forget too you will need to get a pinch style lens cap with a long cord on it. This way you never lose the cord. Hope this info helps.
