Attaching a uv filter? I have a 40.5mm UV filter that I want to attach to the Sanyo Xacti HD1010. I see there are threads on the lens and my filter most definitely has threads but when I try to screw my filter onto the lens, it won't 'stick'. Do I have the wrong size filter?

I bought an off-brand 40.5mm filter off eBay and it looks like it'd fit but it just won't stick to the threads on the HD1010. I'm not using a thread adapter.

I found that the 40.5 thread adapter doesn't work at all. I think the filter for the Xacti 40.5 threaded filters are made for the HD1000 and isn't compatible with the HD1010. I purchased the Tiffen 40.5mm filter and it fit perfectly.

Are you sure the lens on your camera has filter threads? Look at the front of the lens for threads. Additionally, the lens should have filter size printed on the front edge of the lens if it accepts lens filters.

I have the HS25 and there are threads to add filters and or other lenses on the lens. I purchased these but haven't used them yet.... I will get around to it one of these days.

Not really... if you look really close at the "threads" they are just a few parallel ridges. Yes, you can fit a filter, but "just". And I'd recommend buying an Ultra Thin UV filter, like the one sold by Zomei. It's very thin and fits snug enough (I had trouble fitting others securely). The only problem is an ultra thin doesn't grip the lens cap all that well. Make sure you leave the string keeper on the cap so you don't lose it. We also have a P530 and that cannot fit a filter at all.

Royce has the best answer. I looked up your lens and it's a 50mm lens. If they don't have your size lens for these filters, you can do what Royce says and get an adapter.

These filters require a 52mm screw thread. I checked the specifications on the FujiFilm website and found no reference to filter thread size. Also a close examination of the photo of this camera on the Amazon website didn't reveal the presence of available threads. I don't believe the Fuji camera will accept any threaded filters at all.

I couldn't locate my cpl for this reply, but some other (AGFA) filters have as little as one to one-1/2 threads engaged. This is usually enough, providing you rotate the outer ring in the direction that always tightens the filter in the lens. I've never lost one---yet! Appears to be a good filter, though--smooth rotation.

There is a threaded adapter that screws into the filter threads on the lens. The the filter holder clips onto it

The adapter ring attaches to your lens and then the filter holder attaches to the adapter. There are multiple adapter rings to fit most lens sizes. As an example, if your lens is 67mm, you use the 67mm ring, then the semi-square pieces slides on to it. This piece holds up to 3 filters for stacking.

The lens is not threaded although there are converters available they really don't work. To use a filter you need an extension tube. Then you can use a 67mm filter.The downside of the extension tube is you have to zoom out to get a full frame shot. Maybe someone else has another workaround.

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 thread is there but it's a smaller diameter than most of the other E-type lenses so you will need a new set of filters. The lens is very compact but the images need to be corrected for distortion. SONY provides software for this as do Photoshop and LightRoom.

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

Check the filter size diameter specifications of your lens. Also check if your lens has a thread mount. Then buy the filter with the respective filter diameter

the collar that you thread on to the filter threads is where you fit the hood on, both for reverse and photo taking positions. it doesn't work well, its very tight and i ended up not using it. i just got the canon hoods for the lens instead.

I read (somewhere) that someone bought the biggest size they had and he just holds it over the lens to take a reading and doesn't snap it into the filter threads. That way he can use it on all of his lenses.

Sorry, I'm having trouble visualizing the "rig" you are describing. You screw-in this hood. The hood is relatively soft rubber, i.e., flexible. Where would you expect to insert the 77mm ND filter? I would think you first would screw in a 58mm ND filter; then you would screw in this hood.
