I have a sony NEX 3N with the SEL 55210 lens. Can you confirm it takes the 49mm filter. Also, to what degree does this filter decrease visible light

Well, Sony' s website show the following: Advanced Features Image Stabilization : Optical SteadyShot Color : Silver Optics/Lens Mount Material : Metal Minimum Focus Distance : 3.2ft (1m) AF for Movie Capture : Yes Lens Groups-Elements : 9 groups, 13 elements (2 aspheric surfaces) Filter Diameter : 49mm Lens Weight : 12.1 oz (345g) Internal Motor : Yes (Stepping motor) Dimensions (Max. Diameter x Length) : 2-1/2 x 2-1/4" (63.8 x108mm) Aperture (Max.) : f/4.5 - 6.3 Aperture (Min.) : f/22 - 32 Focal Length (35mm equivalent) : 82.5mm-315mm Aspheric Elements : 2 aspheric surfaces Aperture Blade : 7 blades (Circular aperture) Exterior Finish : Metal As you see above, it indicates the filter diameter is 49mm, so any 49mm filter should work as all the lens manufacturers use a universal thread size for the filter end of the lens. A UV filter does not cut down on the light passing through the lens. It does reduce haze in the distance. It's probably used more often as protection for the front lens than for any other purpose.

As long as you purchase the appropriate filter size( which in your case 49mm) then it should fit your lens with no prolem. BW is one of the top filters out there that most professional photographers use. It has very high quality and does not degrade the image quality. The multi coated clear UV haze which I use myself does not decrease the light going in.

The filter will go on front of whatever lens you attach to the Nex7. You would need to check the filter thread to see the size. This is a great protective filter for your lens.

I couldn't get a response from anyone on this topic so I just went ahead and bought the sel55210 lens a couple weeks ago. Like you said, it attaches with no problems, however, with my nex-3 it seems to work just fine. I can't say that I have used the camera all that much with the new lens so there could be some subtle problems that I haven't encountered yet but mine definitely does take pictures. It also doesn't seem to have any problems using any of the default shoot modes and it auto focuses just fine. Have you tried updating your camera's software? There might be something with the initial release of the software that doesn't allow this lens to work.

Hello there my friend! Actually the lens hood adapter that came with the camera works perfectly fine with any 52mm filter. No need for you to buy a separate filter adapter. Just buy the filter that you need and screw it in the lens hood adapter. You're good to go!

These filters will fit any Sony lens which has a threading for 49mm. I've it installed on my SONY SEL-1855 3.5-5.6/18-55mm OSS lens.

Hi Matt, I believe that lens takes a 58mm filter, which will be a lot less expensive than the 77mm I had to buy for my lens. Double check. It should say on the front of the lens. Make sure you order the right size. I've been happy with these filters. Good luck. Larry

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

I really don't know much about Canon since I've always owned Nikon cameras. However, if you go to http://www.neocamera.com/camera/canon/sx50hs you will see (eighth row down on the left) it states that the filter diameter is 49mm. I hope this has been helpful.

Sigma makes several models of their 70-300mm lens. Without the specific model, I am unable to determine which filter is needed. The couple of models that I reviewed on Amazon indicate the they use the 58mm filter NOT 52mm filter.

Hi Cassandra, your Sony NEX-F3 is an E-mouth body type camera. This lens, SAL55300 is an A-mount type of lens. It will not fit in, however, you may use the Sony A mount to E mount lens adaptor: LA-EA4 or LA-EA3 to make it work. Hope this helps. -Ely

I agree with DJ W. You need to look at the size of the lens you have - it should say it on the side. That will tell you what size filters to buy. The Sony Nex has different sized lenses that you can buy, so it depends on the lens you have. Their newest standard 16-50mm lens is 40.5 mm, so yes, these filters fit.

sorry......I don't know the answer. you should be able to find the mm of your camera on the lens cap. if not, you can probably google to find out if NEX 3N is 49mm.

The lens on the camera accepts 55mm filters. I have a vivitar 55mm uv-haze filter and a polarizing lens. I'm going to purchase a 1A filter to help protect the cameras lens from damage.

As long as you're Sony Nex 7 has filter threads on the lens, these ND filters should screw on to your camera's lens with no problem. Hope this helps.

The focal length/ range of your lenses (18-55mm; 70-300mm) has nothing to do with your lens filter size, although many Sony lenses do take 55 mm sized filters. Each lens should have the filter size stamped on the front part of the lens barrel-- usually just inside the rim of the lens barrel. My Sony 18-70mm and my 70-210mm each take 55 mm filters, and are so marked.
