What size UV filter should you buy for this camera? I was previously advised 52mm but it doesn't fit. Shouldn't it be 37mm?

go by what the lens cap number is.which should be found on the back of the lens cap.

I purchased gx1 with power zoom 14-42/3.5 Lumix GX, this lens has 37mm filter size. I also have a 45-200/4, this lens has a 52mm filter size. I bought Tiffen UV filters to protect the lens.

It depends on the lens, not the camera. This product doesn't include a lens. If you have the 14-42mm kit lens the 52mm should fit. Each lens has different sizing though. I do know a 37mm filter will fit on an Olympus 45mm f1.8, otherwise you'll have to check each lens individually.

That depend on what lens that you have with the camera. You could read the letters stamped on the front ring of your lens. Every lens should have its focus length, F stop and filter size clearly marked.

62mm - Get a quality filter as it will degrade the image quality if you don't

There is a 58 & a 62. What filter size does the lens require? It sould say on the lens. Take that number and compare with the list.

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

What you should probably look for is 37mm threaded lenses that have a 37mm thread inside of them so you can put the filter on the camera and then the lens on the filter...

The filter is not included, but any 52mm should work. There are some on Amazon for 5-10 dollars.

You would have to look at your lens and see if it takes a 62 mm filter. Usually it is stamped somewhere on the lens.

I have the same question. I believe the guide talks using and adapter (FA-DC67A) for attaching a 67mm filter but this not necessary means that the filter fo this camera is a 67mm. Every where they do offer a 58mm lens for this camera. Isn't it true?

Try B&H; Photo Video (www.bhphotovideo.com). They have a lot of 39mm filters.

In my limited experience, I would say no. the largest filters I have seen are 77mm. This lens has a a drop-in 52mm "behind the lens" mechanism, should you require the use of filters. I can say that w/o the uv protector, this lens doesn't collect any more dust than my lenses that have protection. Perhaps its the long hood, i'm not sure, but happy anyway.

The filter size is 72mm. Either a Daylight or a UV filter will protect your lens without affecting your photos.

a 52mm fits, but I was not happy with the ghosting I got with the UV filter I used. I am opting to not use a filter, as I really do not think this lens was designed to function with one.

95mm filter size. Do remember that this lens is f/5 up to about 170mm and at 420mm is already f/6.3 so it's not "fast" if you're considering using filters not light-friendly.Cheers.

I only use one lens for this camera, the 20 mm F1.7 prime lens, for which I do not use filters. I've never used UV filters and have not missed them.

There are filter adapters now on Ebay, just a simple 38mm to 52mm or 55 mm for about $14. I got one and attached a 52mm UV protective filter, and bought a replacement 52mm Nikon "real" lens cap. I also got a 52mm polarizer, so i'm all set for now. The threads won't hold any accessory lenses, but they are solid enough for a protective filter.Jason

I had NO problem using the 52mm filters on my Lens.I use a neutral density filter to protect my lens.
