P80 UV/Sky and Polarized lens - What size? Does anyone know what size, or what works?
813655
I wrote an email to Nikon about this and they said no filters UV or otherwise were being planned for the P80. They did not give me a filter size so I guess I'll ask them again. However, I would treat this camera more as a point and shoot and therefore probably no one will want to create a filter for it. Certainly not Nikon. I will let you know their reply.

Probably a reasonable thing to do use a UV filter for haze. With the G10 (like most point and shoots without a lens thread) you will require an extension tube to fit onto the bayonet fitting surrounding the lens. I intend to include a PL filter which will greatly enhance sky and water. In order to replace the camera in its case this fitting will have to be removed each time.I didn't write this - someone else did under my name. Perhaps the whole discussion business is a sham to sell more gear!

I agree with you, measure the Objective Lens and see if they have the size you need, no doubt they will work. Make sure to measure and convert inches to millimeters.

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

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!

Thank you so much for the information. I bought some 58mm filters and an adapter and have held them in front. I will look for some 37mm so I can do your workaround. Thank you for the information.

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?

I had just purchased the SB800 when the 900 came out. Always happens that way. I have used the SB800 and it works somewhat well but understand that a lens with this focal length will require a flash that really brings it! I use this lens for landscape and sports photography, daylight shooting, because that 2.8 glass really lets the light in. I might suggest going directly to Nikon and asking them to show their hand on this one. I am going to try it as well. Are you shooting in Aperature and Manual modes? this will also let you control the amount of light you will need for your pix to really come out nice.

Is that the standard lens? Usually you can see the size on the lens itself. (P.S. are you a writer for the Pojo?)

I answered this yesterday, but long story short, for what you are doing, I would go with the 80mm unit. You will be happy with it.

You can put a Celestron 93230 8 to 24mm 1.25 Zoom Eyepiece in there and it works.I did it today works great can zoom until there is no vignetting.

I have the 10-100mm, the 10-30mm, and the 18.5mm. The 10-100mm came with my camera, and I purchased the 10-30mm separately. I end up using the 10-30 more often because of the light weight, and I can stick it in my handbag. The 10-100mm I pull out for landscapes, etc and I have a polarizer on that one. I guess the 2 of them are somewhat redundant, but I like having both, and for me they serve different purposes. The 18.5 is great for portraits and detail, it's super fast.

looking at camera, if the lens is marked 58mm it should work. get adapter and filters to protect lens a uv fiter, poloriser are best. uv on all the time

You need to check the diameter of your lens. This should be given on the front of your lens in small type - a circle with a vertical line (meaning diameter) through it followed by two digits - such as 77mm. Match that diameter to filters and lens hoods. I use this lens hood myself with a UV filter in place.

May I ask what lens you went with? I am debating the same issue. Thank you.

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

I think Tom's answer is the right think to do, I was photographing off road races the last week and as. A test bring my Oly epl 3 with two prime MD lenses a 50 and 200, using the same adapter and works surprisingly GOOD, if you try everything and doesn't work may be its defective! good Luck always here to help if you need.
