I'm confused. What exactly is this thing "adapting"? Could I simply use a Cokin 58mm adapter ring to attach my square filters to the SX40?

No the 58mm is for use on round filters. Not sure what you would need for square filters.

The SX-40 mount is a bayonet mount, not threaded. It is hard to see, but that is the issue. You can screw in a threaded adapter, but it will probably damage the threads, and could come loose unexpectedly, it it will only be jammed in, not held by proper threads.

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

I think the terminal arrangement on hotshoes is pretty much universal.... Suggest you compare the arrangement on your SX40 (which I also have), with the arrangement of the terminals on the Sony or any other camera you may have or wish to use... I have a Sony DSC-RX100, but it has no hotshoe. The newer version of the RX100 is the RX100II which does have it. Also, try going to a camera shop. I'm sure they would let you try one. That may be the best solution.

I am not sure, I have an sx40. I returned the one I got, it was to tight. It was hard to remove and the hood was real tight. The adapter its self was of high quality

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.

Yes, mine fit the SX50 but as someone else answered my plastic ring broke after 2 months of light use. Anybody know of a more robust adapter? David

Use protection filter only, Basically all essential kits are no using and no fit for sx40 lens in my experience.

I have both an sx280 and sx50hs . The SX40hs (which I owned at one time) and sx50hs have adapter fittings that will allow one to use this and other close up filters however the sx280 and other sx series cameras do not have this feature. No adapter will fit so you can not use filters on thoes cameras. The size of the lense is too small.

I found the answer on a web site that displayed how the Cokin filters work; and the answer is yes. The Cokin adapter ring is unique and is designed specifically for their filter holder; so I cannot use the adapter ring I have to use circular filters. Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears the Cokin (or other adapter that is designed specifically for Cokin filters) is necessary.

I have not worked with the SX40HS so I can't say for certain if it will or will not fit. :-)

As long as the diameter is the same, it should fit. But I do not have the experience with sx30/40.

No, it did not fit on my sx50 hs. I tried for an hour, and then the next day, but it still didn't work. I used it instead on my wife's sx40 and it fits, so, I did not have to return it. I bought another much more expensive filter from Hoya 58mm that includes an adapter ring. I do not remember anymore where I bought it.

I purchased mine for my wife's SX40, so I know it works on that but no knowledge about a SX50.

The SX50 requires an adaptor ring in order to make use of 58mm diameter lens accessories. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9L6JYY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1WFSHX6J483SX

Thanks to BruceH! I ordered a set of lenses and filters that say they're for the Canon SX30is, thinking if an adapter were needed it would be either mentioned or included. Should've read this first! They're all 52mm, and none of them fit. Looks like I'll be returning them and starting over with the recommended adapter.

Canon uses a bayonet mount for lens, the lenses in this kit a screw mount so you need the following adapter ring. 58MM Lens Conversion Adapter Ring for CANON POWERSHOT SX20, SX30, SX40 IS Digital Cameras + MagicFiber Microfiber Lens Cleaning Cloth

I bought this ring adapter tube for the Canon SX 50 but I happen to also own a Canon SX 10 IS. The lens on the sx50 is not threaded so if you want to attach a filter (which I did) you need to buy the adapter. But if your SX 10 is like mine (and I assume it is) if you look at the lens you will see it is already threaded so you don't need the adapter. If you buy the right size filter you don't need an adapter; it will screw right onto the lens. If for some reason you want an adapter, this one will NOT fit on the SX 10.
