do the uv filters need to be the same brand as the camera or do they only need to be the same size of the lens?

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

I don't believe the polarizing filter will take care of UV filtering. The place I got the Tiffen polarizing filter bundled the two filters together so you get both.

I cannot answer this question. The filter fits SONY lenses and these are the only lenses I have. I would hope that all lenses have the same screw threads, but have no information on this.

Yes, but the UV filter screws between the adapter & the Lense. Hope this helps.Cheers

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.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

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

Filters are not brand specific. This one should fit any lens that has a filter thread size of 58mm. Don't confuse this number with the focal length of the lens. On you Lens look for a symbol Φ following a number, that will tell you the filter size.

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

What filter thread size does your camera take. It is often imprinted on the lens. If it matches this filter size, then it will fit.

The filter size is 72mm. Either a Daylight or a UV filter will protect your lens without affecting your photos.

I still don't get it.DO I or DON'T I need to buy a lens adapter to use a UV filter in this camera?!Different people are saying totally different things.Some say you can thread a 52 mm filter directly into the camera, others say you need to buy an adapter and a 58mm filter.I and all other people reading this thread would be very thankful if some compassionate soul would clarify this important topic for us once and for all.Thank you!

Any time I get a new lens I always buy a UV filter to put on the new lens and leave it to protect the lens glass. Let's face it new filters are a lot cheaper than a new lens. You don't always want to use CP filter but you still need to protect the lens.

Hi Amani~ I have an SX30, & they do go on the lens reluctantly for me, but my camera fell onto blacktop once & may have messed the threads up. I do like the uv filter in the kit.

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.

My understanding is that filters are pretty much universal in terms of thread. That said, if you look at the diameter referenced on the front of your lens - usually something like "49 or whatever followed by an o with a slash through it. - that should determine the size filter you should buy. Of course, the manual that came with your lens/camera is the final determiner.
