Does a UV filter fit on this lens? If yes, what size? Thanks

Yes, 77mm. Since this is a pretty wide lens you might want to get a thin one.

Amazon sells a Tiffen 77mm UV Protection filter that should work with this camera. I haven't tried it myself but, you could always return it, if it doesn't work out for you.

Yes a UV filter will fit. 77mm is the size. I use a UV on all my lenses and have done so for 40+ years. With the 11-18mm super-wide I do not experience any vignetting with the filter. Vignetting is darkening in the corners of your pictures. All superwides are vulnerable. I really like this lens.For all specs go to: http://store.sony.com/WFS/SNYUS/en_US/-/USD/-zid27-SAL1118/cat-27-catid-All-Alpha-DSLR-Lenses?k_id=_kenshoo_clickid_&kpid;=SAL1118&adparam;=sem73pla&XID;=O:SAL1118:dg_gglsrch:pla&cagpspn;=pla&gclid;=CKL1vvGW58ACFbRzMgod7gYAhw

I own this camera, it accepts 52mm filters. I have a HOYA 52mm UV[0] on mine right now. Depending on what type of filters you get, you may need a new lens cap than the one that is supplied (I did)

Some models come with a UV filter and some don't. As I ready had a stand alone UV unit, I bought the cheaper unit w/o UV filter. I would hope that the product specifications, based on the size of the unit, would include that information. Sorry, but that is the best I can do.

I don't use a UV filter, I use this hood after I take the lens cap off so I don't accidentally touch the lens...

Usually they do, but for this lens i dont use a filter. Compatibility can be checked online at the Nikon store. Its a popular lens so you should have no problem.

Hello,I use B+W 39mm UV filter - check ebay. Lens hood and pancake lens? Don' t do it, it realy makes no sense. Br, Uros

No, because of the len's curve and the hood, there is no room for a filter. I don't find this as a problem. For the price and results, this is an exceptional lens. It is worth every penny. Learn to work with the parameters and you will be pleased with the results.

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

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

Dear customer:The filter must be threaded on. Does your lens accept filters? If it does this filter will thread on to a 49mm thread.

How does it attach to the lens? Require an adaptor or go right on atop the UV filter on my lens?

It doesn't but the filters can be added to the existing lens. I use the UV filter all the time as filter and extra layer if protection for the lens.

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

You can get a filter, but the depth of the lens hood obviates the need for it. I just got back from Australia shooting with the lens in all weather and conditions and did not use a filter. Better images that way as well.Regards,Evan

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

This lens requires a 58mm filter size but the correct size will certainly fit. The filter seems to be truly neutral and allows a much slower shutter or larger aperture in bright conditions.

No more then any other lens. I use a UV filter to protect the lens/glass but not required. If you choose to you can use other select filters.
