Hi Denise I would start with a skylight 1a or a polarizing filter to protect the lens the lens will have a sign and a number underneath the sign is a circle with a diagonal line through it going from top right to bottom left followed by a number 46 52 67 etc this two figure number is the filter size for that lens

Jose, I have a SX30 IS (52mm) and the kit came with the 52 to 58mm adapter. All the lens and filters are 58mm. I love my lens kit! Lat night I took a extreme close up shot of the beautiful full moon thanks to the HD Telephoto lens!

I've owned both lenses and the 50 1.4 has a better build quality, the larger aperture will also give you shallower DOF which might help with portraits, and it should focus faster. Unless you plan on doing a lot of macro photography with your lens I'd go with the 50 1.4.

I have the same question, but will probably go with the Sigma because the OS will come in handy. I go to many concerts and need a lens that will allow me to get into the concert. A Canon L lens may be too big for a concert. The OS will allow me to take better shots with less light.If you dont need the OS and want the xtra 50mm then you must go with the Tamron. Quality wise, they seem close.I was looking at the Canon 55-250 with IS but it is large compared to the Sigma.

You don't like zoom and you want more bokeh. I would recommend spending money on better glass, instead of on a new body. I would recommend either the SEL50F18 or the SEL35F18. The 50mm is considerably cheaper, but the focal length might be too long for indoor shooting. I have the SEL35F18 and absolutely love the lens and the resulting shots.

i have a Rebel xs and i just got canon sx20is for the zoom if you don't want to invest in lens i thing the sx20is for most people would be best

I googled for a lens cap for canon SX 40. One site was offering a 52mm cap. So you may need 52 mm cap, not 58mm.

Another option is getting the 50mm 1.8 for about a hundred bucks. Takes great shots and you can still buy the 28-135. I bought my 28-135 used and love having both lenses.

You must buy a 58mm lens cap because the original one only fits the 52mm lens that is on the Canon SX50. But, with the 58mm UV filter on there really isn't any good reason to place a lens cap over it. A major reason to have the UV lens is to protect the camera's lens and it does. I have had several cameras and never used the lens cap -- only a UV filter to protect the camera lens. Hope you enjoy thye great Canon SX50. It is amazing with its 50x magnification.

I've got the sigma, it's a great lens and a good focal length. (48mm on crop cams) If you are going to be indoors, the f1.4 is handy. I've got the 50mm f1.8 and the extra 2/3's makes a difference when you're already at slow shutter speeds.

Kit lens is 14-42mm or 12-50mm. You can also but camera alone and get any lens you want. I bought mine last year with the 12-50mm and have been very happy with that lens. Any way, you won't be sorry. Great camera!

I have an 18-55mm lens so yes on that and not sure on the 50. Still learning a lot on this camera. Hope i helped though;)

What is important, is the diameter of the thread at the end of the lens. In this case it is a 58mm diameter thread. So find out the exact diameter and then you can buy accordingly, means, you can buy 49mm,52mm,58mm and so on. In general this product will do if you find the right diameter. I hope that helps.

I have the 18-135mm STM lens and if your planning to do any video shooting its a better buy hands down! I use this lens daily! I also have the 40mm STM lens the STM version is quiet and it seems to work best with the Canon DSLR's

I like the SL 1 for general photography, the smaller size and lighter weight would be good for packing in the field. It has a 'cropped' sensor which gives a telephoto factor of 1.6, so a 50 MM lens acts like an 80 MM and 200 MM like a 320 MM, but smaller sensor size means less 'light on film' and might be a problem in low light situations. You might need a longer lens for birds 'a couple hundred feet away' it would be nice to check the lens out in a store or if you know someone with a similar set up.

I have a Canon 50mm 1.8 and it fits as a glove, so I think you shouldn´t have much trouble to use it. A good way to make sure is to check the diameter of the ring and then checking the one your lens has. If it matches, then it fits.

I don't have enough information yet....what other lenses do you own, and what camera would you be shooting with? Are you the main photographer? Are you bringing lights or at least a high(er) powered flash unit? This is a great lens for macro use, but with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 this cannot be considered a fast lens at all. While a 50mm lens is fantastic for shooting in a more photojournalistic style, you will probably want something a little longer for portraits (especially if you're using a full-frame digital or film camera). Please respond with what camera(s) you'll be using and what other lenses you own and I'll give you more detail
