(1) If I put a polarizer on this lens, can I still use the strange lens hood?

No. I don't think so. I use a 49mm ND screw on filter and I cannot use the Lens Hood at the same time.

Hi John, you can still use a lens hood even when you place a polarizing filter on this Sony SEL35F28Z lens. -Ely

2 Part Answer.The lens does accommodate a filter, it's a 49. I have not tried it, but it does look like you would be able to get the hood on with a filter attached to lens.The hood itself also has threads, so you could filter that as well, it is a 40.5.

Not with this lens cap. Likely, there are aftermarket caps you can do this with, however.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but will answer as best I can. If you reverse the hood and twist it on, it should fit on the lens and you can put a lens cap on the lens. I always put my lens cap on first and then put the hood on the lens afterwards, but, yes you can put the hood on the lens and then cap it.

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.

No. Polarizing filters are extra. Go for a circular polarizer though and get a good one. This camera deserves it.

Just open the transparent done cover and gently turn the black lens hood. One of my cameras was fixed did way. However don't force it if it does turn freely as you may damage the camera. Loosen the small screw first. Good luck

Check your lens manual for filter size. Doesn't that lens come with a lens hood?

Yes, you can add a lens filter either before or after the lens hood, but you do have to be aware of the possibility of vignetting depending upon that placement.

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.

There are products out there, but as you might imagine, you won't be using a typical threaded polarizer. You wind up using something like a cinema lens hood with a giant filter slipped in. Here's one solution that comes to mind: http://www.leefilters.com/index.php/camera/system#tse-adaptor Phenomenal lens, especially for landscapes. Almost surely worth the extra workaround

You can, but have to set the polarizer after focusing. Typically not a problem for distant / landscape shots as the ring is mostly around infinity focus.

The true I don't use match this filter, I have to play more with this. But I think you may have some black or shadows, and in other hand, like someone said you can remove UV filter. In some shots you want use polarized filter and at this time I don't know how will work because I don't have one."Hi,I have a canon 24-70 lens. Will this work at 24? Or do you think I will ses!e black spots as others mentioned. thxn"

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

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

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.

I agree with the others. The polarizer needs to be rotated after the focus is set, but not by much. Make sure that the filter size is 62mm or it will not fit this lens.
