I need to be able to get this and a UV filter on.. with my non-nikon rubber lens hood there is major vinette at 18mm. does this do that? Thanks!

No. This is a true Nikon hood. I can't answer to using with a filter, but there is no vignetting with the hood at any focal point.

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.

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.

The external diameter across the front of the hood is about 77mm. I don't believe you could thread a 77mm filter into that lens; moreover, trying to manipulate a filter to thread into the internal diameter might prove to be a real pain.

Not really, it simply clips around an outer grove the is fairly common on the rim of most lenses.However, some filter brands offer a threaded adapter ring to combine multiple filters together, and some even have built in coupler threads. In either case, this hood leaves plenty of room for additional modification.

As far as I know, there is no threading, at least in the one I got about three years ago. The outside diameter is about 69mm, and it has no threads. I saw a mod by a German guy on YouTube and I did the same. I bought a 72mm rubber lens hood, removed the rubber part and kept the plastic ring. Then I wrapped some electrician's tape around the lens, so I could fit the&#65279; plastic ring on it without any glue: I just pressed and turned the ring, and it got stuck pretty tightly. Now I can use a 72mm UV or polarizing filter.&#65279;

Hello there my friend! Actually the lens hood adapter that came with the camera works perfectly fine with any 52mm filter. No need for you to buy a separate filter adapter. Just buy the filter that you need and screw it in the lens hood adapter. You're good to go!

I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

There is no way. There is no filter thread so no extra lens hood or filter can be attached. The built in lemns hod provides some protection. I try to keep the lens cap on between sorts, but that's not too handy.

It doesn't extend much at all. I don't have it now as I reverted to rubber lens hoods that allow me to rotate polarizing filters. With Nikon hood I would often touch the polarizing filter glass-not good.

It's not the camera body that makes a difference it is what mm the lens is. So match the "mm" number on the hood with the "mm" number on your lense(s) to find out if it will fit and yes, you can have filters on the lens with a hood on. :)

You should be able to, it isn't easy but you can thread the filter on after the hood is attached to the camera. I use a CPL for most of my Auto photography and it isn't conducive to that, but there are few lens hoods that are. If you don't need to adjust the filter that you are installing I don't see why there would be any issue using any filter with this hood. It isn't the easiest thing to take on and off, just make sure that you depress the buttons on the side to retract the bayonets. I think that is what others that left bad reviews on this hood were having.

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!

You can use the hood because is hooked from the outer side of the lense, the uv filter is hooked in the inside of the lens

There's no optical reason for getting a lens hood anyhow. It seems impervious to flare. Unless you're worried about dropping the lens and scratching the front element, don't fret not having one.

My filter is larger, but I assume similar. I assume your lens hood somehow screws inside the lens barrel. If it's external, this filter won't work. I believe the threads are a major weakness with Tiffin filters. Mine sports a front thread that's very shallow, so I doubt a lens hood would have much to hold on to.

Multi-coated UV or skylight 1A 58mm filter to protect your the front of your lens. After that, let your conscience (and wallet) be your guide. I also like to add a collapsible lens hood (again, 58mm) to the lens and filter to give a little shade from sun/light flare and as a "bby buggy bumper to also help protect the lens from light impact. You will probably have to collapse it when going for wide angle shots (towards the 18mm end of your zoomlens) so thatit doesn't show in your photo.
