From users' reviews it seems only the adapter, rubber hood and cap are the best ones but the filter is not. You had better to buy a Hoya 58 mm filter additionally. If so, why should we not buy a 58 mm adapter, rubber hood, cap and Hoya 58 mm filter...

I do not recommend filters unless it will optically improve an image. If the filter gets broken, it will scratch up and damage the glass on the front of the lens. Lens hoods can protect the front glass to a degree. That's what I use-hoods all the time.

I haven't personally used the 77mm adapter but all the others I've used have fit perfectly. All of the pieces including the filters are plastic.

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.

Amazon carries an adapter that threads into the lens barrel and allows you to use 67mm filters. It comes from overseas so it will take a few weeks to arrive. I have one and it works fine.

the filter u attached to the lens (that 58mm UV one) is always giving me lens flare especially wen am shooting video. i cannot comment on the other filters because you did not attach it to my consignment. Anyway i can only say the lens itself is the best

In days past Tiffen was a good quality middle of the road (cost) filter. They've cheaped them up to point I wouldn't own one. Hoya is a similar filter. The best filter's I've used over last 45 years are by B + W.

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.

Kay, sounds like you may have lost your original hood? If so, and it were me, I would order the 58mm filter lens adapter and the 58mm lens hood and tethered lens cap. That way you are not only replacing the hood but making possible to use standard lens filters in the camera. The hood that comes with the camera doesn't allow for this. The adapter has come down in price on Amazon. Then get a set of filters.

Yes, any filters with 52mm diameter should be fine, but lens hoods will give you black spots on certain focal lengths.

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

I selected 52mm because that was the size of my filters. I have no experience with 42mm. If had 42mm filters, I am confident the adapter would work just as well. Be warned that the magfilter adapter is easily knocked (brushed) off. Thus far the adapter and filters have survived. It is a good product.

Hi Steve, i bet the 58mm Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood will be better off with a Canon 18-55mm kit lens. You may have have challenges using the hood with a 50mm lens

The best value in a protection filter is the Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Clear Protector Digital Filter. I can't believe that price. I recently purchased a used Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 it came with a Sunpack UV filter, which destroyed the image quality of the lens. I took a couple pictures with no filter, to make sure I was going to keep the lens, then promptly ordered a Hoya Pro1 Clear filter for it. The larger 67mm filter for the Tamron, is 3 times what the 58mm is selling for, but, well worth it. There is NO degradation in image quality using the Hoya Pro1 Clear filter.

when you mount the lens on the camera backwards, you loose the original filter thread size as it is now attached to the camera side.the ring that takes the rear of the lens has an opening of 52mm so you need any filter, cap or hood ti be 52mm because you're attaching it to the adapter and not to the original filter thread on the lens.

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.

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.
