Is this a thin filter suitable for wide angle lens?

This definitively is a thin protector suitable for wide lenses. I use them with 14mm and I'm still able to add my polarizer filter. Did not find any downside.

If the diameter (55mm) is the same as indicated on your wide angel lens, the it will. If you look and your lens indicate 67mm (more common) double check the description and match the size.

Hoya does make a thinner one- however I find it irritating because it is so thin that I can't clip my lens cap on over it...

No, but I believe there is a wide angle "mode" in the options. That said, it's really not the same thing as a wide angle lens.

Yes, but the UV filter screws between the adapter & the Lense. Hope this helps. Cheers

It is common for many extreme wide angle and fisheye lenses to eliminate the front filter thread, since the filter would have to be very large to avoid vignetting. The Panasonic 7-14mm has an integral "petal" style hood that provides reasonable protection from accidental impact to the front element. As far as dust, dirt, water are concerned, you just have to be careful. I haven't had any problem yet.Also, if you actually want to use filters, there is a gel filter recess on the rear of the lens.In summary, I wouldn't let the lack of a protective filter prevent you from enjoying this excellent lens!

I would wager based on my experience with the B&W; standard lens filters that you would see some vignetting on both of these filters, even with the 010M I have to be aware of a slight darkening of the edges of my photo if I back off to 17mm ( I currently shoot a 17-40mm lens) The polarizer will definitely vignette. To avoid this issue I'd go with the "Slim" model filters B&W; produces for wide angle lenses.

Should work OK. Remember that the main function of a UV or skylight filter is to protect the lens.

Not really... if you look really close at the "threads" they are just a few parallel ridges. Yes, you can fit a filter, but "just". And I'd recommend buying an Ultra Thin UV filter, like the one sold by Zomei. It's very thin and fits snug enough (I had trouble fitting others securely). The only problem is an ultra thin doesn't grip the lens cap all that well. Make sure you leave the string keeper on the cap so you don't lose it. We also have a P530 and that cannot fit a filter at all.

Yes. it's a 77mm filter, and the lens has a 77mm thread. No adapter required.

I don't own that lens, but from some reading around it appears that regular filters are fine; however, I will make note that circular polarizers on a wide angle will produce very strange results due to uneven polarization. That may or may not be a concern depending if you want to use it for creative effect.

Hi,Seems to match.in some extremely wide angle lenses ultra thin filter is used, as far as I know it is not required for 24 mm.I use it on canon 18-200 (cropped sensor).Thanks.Guy

It is very thin. Ours was a square 1/2 thick filter. This one fits in the same area but is about a cm thinks so it does not fully seal.

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.

I believe it should. The wide angle lenses are not Canon, The wide angle lens is by digital visions. It does a good job. This kit has served me well on our recent trip to Hawaii.

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.

I use a thin uv filter mainly for protection of the front element. It works fine! This is a great lens and I think you will enjoy it! Take care, Doc

HI, due to the angle of the lens if you don't use a thin filter it will vignette around the edges.

Yes a UV filter will fit. 77mm is the size. I use a UV on all my lenses and have done so for 40+ years. With the 11-18mm super-wide I do not experience any vignetting with the filter. Vignetting is darkening in the corners of your pictures. All superwides are vulnerable. I really like this lens.For all specs go to: http://store.sony.com/WFS/SNYUS/en_US/-/USD/-zid27-SAL1118/cat-27-catid-All-Alpha-DSLR-Lenses?k_id=_kenshoo_clickid_&kpid;=SAL1118&adparam;=sem73pla&XID;=O:SAL1118:dg_gglsrch:pla&cagpspn;=pla&gclid;=CKL1vvGW58ACFbRzMgod7gYAhw
