I am new to filters. Does it hang loosely to the lens? I don't see how it screws on to the camera itself.

It's like a circle filter, it screws on to the camera itself and then you slide on the adapter peace that allows you to place 3 filters. They do provide you with an additional adapter so that you can attach 3 more filters (6 filters). This is an amazing product for its price, and will allow you to get the the best pictures.

It has a number of adapters for different lens diameters. It scres on just like a filter lens does. It was a little difficult to fogure out but it works.

These lenses (filters) screw directly on the thread on the front element of the camera lens. The thread is very fine and not easy to see at a casual glance. When on the lens they do not obstruct the zoom operation or the lens cap which protects the lens when the camera is not in operation. Fitting the UV filter permanently is a good idea since it protects the front element of the lens from scratches and dust. Hope this helps. Peter

Yes, it just attaches to the front of the lens like a filter with the drop on square filters. Have fun.

No. It uses a very thin ring which attaches to the front of the camera lens. The filter has a magnetic ring which then is attracted to the ring. The filter can be adjusted by just overcoming the magnetic friction and turning it into the correct position.

If screwed in properly it should help keep any moisture and dust off of your camera lens....I have not noticed any problems with my lens an this time.

Hi Dan,I bought the filters as a Christmas gift but I did try them on the camera. They seem to screw onto the end of the lens with a few turns. The lens cap will go on but pops off easily. Hope this helps...

It attaches like a filter would to the lens. it's a 58mm attachment. If you lens is not 58mm you'll need an adapter to your size lens.

I have this one and a friend of mine bought the Canon brand one and neither of them have tightening screws. They twist onto the front of the lens and stay on firmly, never had any problems. I prefer this one because not only is it cheaper, but it also is the same size as the end of the lens where as the Canon one is larger and looks very awkward.

Hello, It fits fine on mine. The filter has an internal tread so it's outside dimension is exactly the same size as the outside of the lens. I have not had any issues with the hood showing up in pictures. I don't think you can put it on wrong, but the shorter flanges should orient side to side. Hope this helps...

Dear Patricia, you will not be able to fit any screw-in filters to this lens. This is because the front element is curved and it is protected by the built-in petal-shaped hood. Although this hood appears to have a screw thread it is actually just a series of circles (presumably to disperse any stray light that hits it). The only thing you can do to protect it is to always use the the push-on lens cap supplied when the lens is not being used. Best wishes, Simon (yatescameras.com)

It doesn't go on the camera it fits on the end of the lens using adapters. so as long as you lenses filter size is the same as one of the adapters that are included it will work.

It actually fits around the lens. The lens attaches to the body. The idea is to get better balance of the lens-body combination when sitting on a tripod.

It attaches magnetically. First you must glue a thin metal shim around the camera lens that does not prevent the lens from opening or closing. The shim comes with the kit and all you do is remove a paper bit and press it on...very easy. The filter will then stick magnetically to this shim. You can either leave the filter in place (the lens WILL close with it on) or take it off for nightime shots.

I couldn't locate my cpl for this reply, but some other (AGFA) filters have as little as one to one-1/2 threads engaged. This is usually enough, providing you rotate the outer ring in the direction that always tightens the filter in the lens. I've never lost one---yet! Appears to be a good filter, though--smooth rotation.

Yes, but the threads for the filter are not very deep, and it falls off easily, especially the polarizer, unless you always rotate it in the correct direction (as in screwing it on.)Kathi

Hi Soozie, The adapter ring fits to the lens quite snugly, but there is a some amount of play. The filters/hood which screw onto the adapter ring are installed with about 1.5 turns - with no play.

I was able to attach it to the front of the lens that comes with the camera. It just screws on.
