HiI have to check to see where I purchased the polarizer and UV filter. I believe it is AMAZON but I will check and get bak to you. As for the adaptor (I have the SX10) but it fits the SXI I purchased that at LENSMATE.com. They also sell polorizers and other accessories for this fab camera. I just took a lot of shots of autumn trees and foliage using the polarizer and they came out great. Will let you know which polorizer and UV I got.

May I ask where you purchased the polarizer and UV filter for the SX1? My husband would also like to use these. Did you also purchase your adapter from the same place?
1806934
Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

The lensmate adapter works great. I'm using one with my SX1 with the circular polarizer and infrared.

I purchased the polorizer on AMAZON. Here is the info Opteka 58mm High Definition² Multi-Coated Circular Polarizing Glass Filter Sold by: 47th Street Photo As for the UV filter I just used one that I had on another Canon camera . As long as its 58mm it will fit. Don' t forget too you will need to get a pinch style lens cap with a long cord on it. This way you never lose the cord. Hope this info helps.

I received my SX1 on 2009Jun30. It has threads. I leave polarizer and UV filter on it all the time.
1806938
The SX10, 20, etc. lenses DO NOT have threads, they are simply rings. 52mm filters can be fitted into them (I've read, I wouldn't try it!) but any damage caused by doing so wouldn't be covered under your warranty.

No, unfortunately the SX1IS does not have threads for filters. There is an adapter sold by Lensmateonline dot com for around $15. It enables you to use 58mm filters.

Hi openmyeyes!You mean you attached your filters directly to the camera lens, without the Lensmate adapter?Which filter size you used?Thanks!Diems

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.

Hi Art,I did purchase this lens adapter for my V1 camera but have not got a chance to use it, however from my understanding this adapter will adapt the lens to the camera body but no camera controls from the camera body is connected. Basically it will be in manual mode. Hope this helps.

I still don't get it.DO I or DON'T I need to buy a lens adapter to use a UV filter in this camera?!Different people are saying totally different things.Some say you can thread a 52 mm filter directly into the camera, others say you need to buy an adapter and a 58mm filter.I and all other people reading this thread would be very thankful if some compassionate soul would clarify this important topic for us once and for all.Thank you!

The kit has an adaptor ring that screws into the lens of the sx40. If you look into your lens you can see the threads. The adaptor ring is metal as well. Then the filters and lens mounts to the adaptor ring. Nice. Jeff

I don't know about "6 new artistic filters", because when I bought my camera nothing mention about filters. Dealer will you please elaborate.

On a business trip to NY my husband stopped in at B&H; Photo to find a UV filter for the SX20 IS. They tried both 58mm and 52mm in all brands and nothing fit. I found online an adapter from Lensmate (http://lensmateonline.com/newsite/SX10SX1.html). Great discussion on attaching filters. Has anyone purchased this and what's your recommendation.

Your assumption is correct: it does not take any filter, as well as any other lens of this kind. It comes with a removable hood, to protect the lens from bumps and avoid glare on the photos and also with a lens cap that fits and hold perfectly on the front of the glass (with the removable hood attached).

Canon says that the SX20IS lens is not threaded and Lensmateonline is selling the same filter adapter for the SX20IS as they have been selling for the SX10IS. Perhaps My Thoughts will elaborate on how his/her camera accepts filters.

Filters come with only the threads that are needed to fit it on the lens. They do not have threads to hold the hood or anything else. Typically third party hoods come with threads whereas the Canon or Nikon hoods are snap on fit hoods. So if you have a third party hood you can either use it or the filter, not both. Snap hoods are the best as they would accomodate the filter as well.

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.

Yes, this kit includes filters that you can use for your lens. This is a very helpful kit, and the price is great!

I didn't have to have one for my xsi. They have several different options available...just make sure that you get the right one for the lens. I was lucky that the first set I ordered (which was wrong) fit my husband's camera.. Read carefully the description and double check the size of your lens.

This lens has no filter thread. It's a fish-eye, and the front lens element protrudes to an extent that precludes the use of filters. You expect this in a fish-eye though.

Sorry Keith and Kenneth, you are both incorrect, I have the S1 in front of me and there clearly are threads on the front of the lens, in fact the furnished lens cap snaps into those threads. Fuji just wants us to buy their expensive adapter requiring an expensive 72mm filter. Measuring the threads they appear to be 53.5 or 54mm I don't have a precision caliper but a 52mm is slightly too small and a 55mm is slightly too large. 53.5mm & 54mm adapters are rare so I am convinced Fuji deliberately did this to discourage one from just buying a regular filter.

The Fujifilm X-S1 is a fixed lens system. As such, you cannot change lenses on this camera. The lens on this camera has a significant zoom range to cover a wide range of photography needs. If needed, you can add some front-end diopters to cover macro subjects. But, the lens is already very capable at the long focal length end, capable of moderate macro work without supplementation.

Thank you for your message. ILCE-QX1 you can use the e-mount lenses. I can use the lens sel1018 at the camera. Thank you.
