Is the 58 mm filter adapter better than 67 mm adapter for the Canon PowerShot SX series camera? How can the different ring shaped filter, 58 and 67 mm be screwed onto the same lens? Which adapter may affect the lens retraction?

Only better if you already have other 58 mm filters..... if you already have other 67mm filters, then you should purchase the 67mm. I own (3) SX series cameras, & all three use 58mm filters...on purpose. I perfer a filter that obviously fits the 58mm lens barrel & not an over-size 67mm. I have had no vignetting problem with all the 58mm filters.

Doesn't matter what camera you have, what matters is the diameter of the threads on the front of whatever lens you have. I believe the 'kit lens' shipped with the Canon accepts 58mm filters. The ring comes with adapters for a number of different diameters, 58mm being one of them. So yes.

Yes, the other people who are talking about the diameter of the threads, at the end of the lense, where the filters thread on, are correct. The reference of 4.2 to 129mm, they are talking about the effective, equivalent, length of the lense compared to a 35mm film camera. Because the sensors on the sx500 is smaller, it acts like a longer lense. Buy the professional kit that says it works with the sx500, and it will have the correct diameter lense filters.Enjoy!!!!

On mine the lens adaptor takes 58mm. I don't think Canon has changed the design since I got mine, but if you're in doubt take it to a photo shop and they can tell you for sure what size you need.

It is not made for use on the Canon PowerShot SX50 type camera. The filter adapter that is made for the SX50 is the Canon FA-DC67A. This adapter bayonets onto the camera lens for using 67mm threaded filters. The Canon 250D Close-up lens is 58mm filter thread. A 67mm to 58mm step-down ring could be used to mount it onto the adapter, but it wouldn't be recommended.

I ordered this adaptor for my Canon Powershot SX50HS and it fit perfectly. It allowed me to use a cover for my lens as the one I had before broke.

The SX series cameras are not DSLRs and do not come with their own lens threads. The purpose of the ring adapter included in this kit is to provide the camera with the lens threads that it lacks. The ring adapter gives the camera 58mm lens threads (not 52mm like someone else had mentioned previously) and once installed you can attach any 58mm accessory, including lens caps, UV, ND, CPL, IR, star, macro close-up filters, etc. They all work wonderfully. We also offer kits that come with wide angle and telephoto lenses and many customers are happy with the results but please remember this is not a camera that was originally designed to be used with these larger type of accessories and so the results may vary. They are great for experimenting and exploring new types of photography. Please let me know if you have any futher questions. I would be happy to help. Walter Digital Goja

I bought the kit last year. Adapter, filters and cap work fine in the Canon SX40 HS. The ruber hood does not, as cuts the corners in 24 mm lens setting. I am very satisfied with this kit. Excellent cost/benefit.

The filter must match the lens diameter, not the focal length (ex: 18-55mm zoom). In the case of the (stock Canon EF-S 18-55 filter included with many ofthe Canon kits, this would be 58mm.

From the information I was reading about the canon 50sx hs, it DOES NOT appear my 58mm filter will fit with modification. Here is what one web site said about filter size: Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (Compatible with Canon 67mm Filters: Circular Polarizing PL-C B, Protect Filter). Thanks for your inquiry. Ken

Sheldon, Good news and bad. The B & W 58mm filter will not fit on the Canon Power Shot SX50 HS. However, according to DPREVIEW you can purchase a Canon Filter adapter (FA-DC67A). Which when attached to the lens you'll be able to use any commercially available 67mm filter including those made by B & W. Happy photography!

I'm not totally familiar with your particular camera (although it looks to be a beauty), but I did a bit of research and it appears you will need an "adapter" to fit the filter to the lens. There are two (2) sized adapters, 58mm and 67mm. The consensus seems to be the 58mm is the better choice. B/H photo stocks the adapter and I'm sure Amazon can also provide it. This filter is a "thin line" filter that given proper care will be with you for many years. I hope this answers your question.

Any 58mm filter should fit the S5 IS. I have the Canon 58mm UV Haze filter on my camera full time. Like all Canon Power Shot cameras, you need the lens adapter before you can add any accessory to the lens. The S5 uses the Canon LA-DC58E Conversion Lens Adapter. I have other 58mm filters that I just add in front of the UV filter when I want to use them.

This is a 58mm and a much nicer fit than the 67mm which I bought first. The adapter ring is also metal vs the crappy plastic one that came w the 67mm. Highly recommend.

HiI have to check to see where I purchased the polarizer and UV filter. I believe it is AMAZON but I will check and get bak to you. As for the adaptor (I have the SX10) but it fits the SXI I purchased that at LENSMATE.com. They also sell polorizers and other accessories for this fab camera. I just took a lot of shots of autumn trees and foliage using the polarizer and they came out great. Will let you know which polorizer and UV I got.

It doesn't fit onto the camera but on your lens. Use it similar to how you would use a filter. Make sure you put the appropriate adapter ring onto the front of your lens and then the FishEye 'converter' onto the adapter ring. So the order should be your camera, your lens that has a 58mm or 52mm filter ring size, the adapter ring / the FishEye 'converter'.
