threads on lens barrel Does the SX30IS have threads on the lens barrel so you can add on UV filters etc.?

OK, i have the answer! the guys over that the forum linked me to canon's Asian's site where i was able to downloaded an english version of canon's manual that says the adapter (canon #FA-DC67A) is definitely required to attached 67mm filters.here's that link: http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0300419501.html (then see page 41)so, unless you're willing to buy the adapter, there is no apparent way to mount a UV filter, regardless of size.thnx Les for helping answer this question.

I'll take a guess too. It looks like they use the adapter ring to fit 67mm filters to avoid vignetting with the wide angle lense. Since the number 67 appears in the code for the adapter and the number 60 appears in the code for the lense hood, I'm "guessing" the lense has 60mm threads, which don't exist in any normal filter size.

P. Hudson,I made it look confusing. I think the lense thread is 60mm. The adapter would be 60mm to 67mm to accept the 67mm filters. That's the best guess I can come up with.

There has been a LOT of discussion about the auxiliary filter (or extender lens) adapter for the SX30IS over on the DPReview Canon Forum. Guy named Bradly has one and has installed the tele extender lens (Olympus TCON-17) that I have been using with my Panasonic FZ50. Here's a link to get you going to pull out all the required info.

good guess Les, but Canon's own SX30IS "additional supplies" page offers both 67mm filters and the adapter:http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_sx30_is#SuppliesAndAccessoriesi've just posted this question at a canon forum where a couple of folks in Asia already have SX30IS cameras in hand. when i hear what they have to say about all this, i'll re-post their replies here.

Lensmate has updated its sight and now includes the SX 30 IS for the adapter ring and filters.

I didn't get back in time to edit, but I would normally call it a step-up ring. It just has the unusual 60mm threads for the SX30 lense.I don't want someone to get confused and think this is something strange, it's just not a standard size lens mount, if I'm correct.

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

Your lens hood will still attach to the main front of the lens in the hood thread. These will attach in the filter threads. These filters do have front threads to attach additional filters.

IF THE THREAD SIZE ON THE HOOD MATCHES THE ONE ON THE END OF THE LENS THE ANSWER IS YES If not get the hood with the thread size to match the lens the lens will be marked the same goes for the filter you can use either Pola or Uv I tend to put the filter on the lens first then screw the hood into the filter hope this helps.

hi, i just got a Canon sx30is because i like photography but i'm new in this hobby. i would like to know what does the FA-DC67A filter adapter do?

I don't think so, I don't believe the mount will screw into the lens. Do any other common filters screw onto the SX50 ??

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.

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.

Yes it does. It is threaded to take 46mm filters. But since the lens is a slight wide angle, make sure you buy a thin version of any filter so it won't protrude into the angle of view of the lens.

Hi Soozie,The sx 50 adapter ring has one side threaded, As you may have already noticed, the SX cameras don't have traditional lens threads found on DSLRs, but rather "grooves". The SX ring adapter should fit by attaching it to the grooves with a bit of mild pressure. Then a 1/4 turn and the adapter should be securely fitted on to the lens.Customer Service Team

Sadly no. Because the lens has no threads around it to screw the filter holder on.

These lenses (filters) screw directly on the thread on the front element of the camera lens. The thread is very fine and not easy to see at a casual glance. When on the lens they do not obstruct the zoom operation or the lens cap which protects the lens when the camera is not in operation. Fitting the UV filter permanently is a good idea since it protects the front element of the lens from scratches and dust. Hope this helps. Peter

Keith: The filter should work since the SX 30 (the one I have), the 40 and 50 all have 67 mm lenses. WRL

No, there is not a filter available for the front of the 300mm f/2.8L that I am aware of. Using the long hood for the lens when shooting is sufficient protection in most cases.

There is a threaded adapter that screws into the filter threads on the lens. The the filter holder clips onto it

There are no threads for add-on filters. Sonce it goes from wide angle to 36x zoom and has HD and 3D, I don't see any need for additional lenses. However, I don't even know what "IR photography" is, so maybe my needs aren't as great.

On a business trip to NY my husband stopped in at B&H; Photo to find a UV filter for the SX20 IS. They tried both 58mm and 52mm in all brands and nothing fit. I found online an adapter from Lensmate (http://lensmateonline.com/newsite/SX10SX1.html). Great discussion on attaching filters. Has anyone purchased this and what's your recommendation.
