I've been looking at this lens for a while and just realized that I think it doesn't have any filter thread. Does it have a filter thread?

This lens has no filter thread. It's a fish-eye, and the front lens element protrudes to an extent that precludes the use of filters. You expect this in a fish-eye though.

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;

You can't put a filter or a lens hood onto the lens. It has no threads & it retracts when turned off. The camera has some digital 'filters' built in, but that doesn't protect your lens like a real UV filter for instance that you would leave on.

Yes, it has 52mm threads. I'd put the filter in first, but if you're using a non-telephoto lens, the more you put between the lens and the good, the more likely you're going to catch some of the good in the frame. You're probably going to want to remove the good more often than the filter.

When I got my lens; I thought that it didn't fit but I just put it where I thought should go and it did actually work. It does have threads and actually screws into the regular lens and it does work great. Good luck.

Are you sure the lens on your camera has filter threads? Look at the front of the lens for threads. Additionally, the lens should have filter size printed on the front edge of the lens if it accepts lens filters.

You can't add filters to the front of this lens. Those threads are for factory assembly and do not extend far enough to screw anything on.

Gregory, I am sorry but the GE x500 does not have filter threads. Personally I get very large filters, say 73mm and hold them in front of the lens. I do this and it works out fine.

It does not accept the typical screw-on filters. None are mentioned in the owner's manual and none are listed on the manufacturer's website. There is no threaded ring on the lens assembly. There is an inside lip the lens cap uses to stay in place, so it is possible to jury-rig onto it...I suppose.

Yes it certainly does. I've got a couple but I forget the filter size. 46mm I think. You can verify at the Sigma website. It's s great prime lens.

There is no thread on the inner lip of front glass of this lens. So it is difficult to see how it would accept a filter. On page 195 of the Owner's Manual, there is a discussion of Protection Filters. However, the filters mentioned are e.g. DMW-LMC52. This is a 52 mm filter that threads onto the camera's lens, not onto the DMW-LT55. It is possible to leave the DMW-LMC52 filter in place but it will not protect the DMW-LT55 lens. The diameter of the front of the DMW-LT55 lens, which is exposed, is ~ 75 mm. So, the bottom line is that I cannot protect the outside glass of my DMW-LT55.

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

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.

If you are asking if you can thread a filter onto the end of the lens... negative Ghost Rider, the end of the adaptor lens is completely smooth inside and out.

Yes it appears to have a threaded end. I believe it is 56mm but I did not have that size filter to verify that. I screw it into the 46mm filter on the lens. Hope it helps.

Yes I have this on my D60. It just screws into the 52mm thread on the front of the lens. I haven't used it for a while but I seem to remember that I couldn't use it with a filter attached. Not a big problem. I just had to take off the lens filter.

The thin metal ring has an adhesive on one side that attaches permanently to your lens. The filter then attaches to the ring via the magnet to the metal ring. You can buy extra metal rings to attach to other cameras and they now offer a threaded ring to threaded filters. See their website at: http://carryspeed.com/collections/magfilter
