Can a polarizer filter be attached to the lens?

The lens is threaded for a 37mm filter of any kind. So Yes. See: http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/m-zuiko-14-42mm-f3-5-5-6-ii.html

Skip the UV filter entirely and just keep the polarizer on the lens. UV filters are useless, while polarizers are the most useful filter you will ever have... both outdoors and indoors. Depending upon which polarizer you purchase, they will not subtract much if any more light than a UV filter, (the Hoya HD filters are the best, but expensive). I would never shoot anything without a polarizer.

yes, but. You need to have the clear filter in place. The polarized filter I have won't stay on without the clear filter first.

I use the clear UV filter to protect the lens from any contact that would harm the first lens element. Lenses have coatings that can get worn away from numerous cleanings and improper handling. The polarizing filter would protect the lens, but I wouldn't want to use it for every shot. I use mine to reduce reflection in glass, darken the sky and modify contrast, depending upon the situation.

The lens on the camera accepts 55mm filters. I have a vivitar 55mm uv-haze filter and a polarizing lens. I'm going to purchase a 1A filter to help protect the cameras lens from damage.

Probably, yes. There are adapter rings onto which the filter mounts are attached. The adaptor rings screw into the lenses' filter rings, like any other filter. The kit comes with adaptors in a range of diameters that cover the standard sizes.

There is an adapter ring that must be screwed on to the front of the lens - it's a little tricky to get it to stay there. Once that is on you can screw on any of the filters. I only use the uv filter, mostly as protection from dust and scratching. There is a lens cover that fits over the added filters, but it is sometimes more trouble than it is worth, especially when I want the camera ready for quick shots. I have not used the macro filters at all, so can't say anything about them, or the polarizer or fluorescent filters either. And I couldn't make the rubber hood work - it shows up in the photos as rounded edges.

If the lens size matches it should screw onto the front of the lens like a filter. I don't recommend this product. My images came out blurry.

The camera is not threaded so a screw in filter or lens hood is not available. There are kits available that fit over the lens barrel that come with a lens hood and various filters, though I have not tried these myself.

Dear Patricia, you will not be able to fit any screw-in filters to this lens. This is because the front element is curved and it is protected by the built-in petal-shaped hood. Although this hood appears to have a screw thread it is actually just a series of circles (presumably to disperse any stray light that hits it). The only thing you can do to protect it is to always use the the push-on lens cap supplied when the lens is not being used. Best wishes, Simon (yatescameras.com)

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.

You could. I have a nice polarizer made by pro master that rotates after you thread it on. You can move it after you set your focus. Filter size is 62mm

If the lens is 58mm in diameter it will fit. It can be used with a circular polarizing filter but it is very difficult and sometimes falls off.

Short answer; It does NOT have threads to screw on a filter.To put a filter on/in front of, you would need a different (suggest) holder apart from the lens, that would accept filter plates to slide in/out.

It attaches to the front of an existing lens. It attaches just like a filter would.

Yes, it attaches to the front of the lens like a filter, I have excellent result with my Canon 70-300 IS on a Canon 70D.

Yes, there is an included clip for lens and filters. Simply cut your color gel to the right diameter.
