Whay filtersize is this? I have a 72mm filtered Sigma 18-250 lens. But there is also a new version with 62mm. For which lense is this hood?

I have the 72mm hood for my 18-250 lens. They seem difficult to find. A different hood is also available for the newer 62mm lens. The hoods are not interchangeable but are similar in appearance.

The 52mm is actually referring to the diameter of the lens where the lens cap fits onto the end of the lens and is called the filter size (corresponds to what size filter you would buy to attach to the end of the lens). If you take your lens cap off and look at the back side of the lens cap, there should be an engraving on it that says what size it is (common sizes are 52mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm). If you somehow can't find it on your lens cap, it should say somewhere on the lens itself (look for __mm numbers that aren't 18, 55, or 300). Reply if you don't find it following these directions.

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

According to a photo page on ABT, this lens uses a 72mm filter. You just need the cap that fits a 72mm lens.

there is a 62mm & 72 mm Hard to find the differences here. I have a 62 mm and would like to get the newer one.

It's a 72mm filter that comes with an adapter for the 62mm lens. It's a great lens for the price and all the extras that come with it!

I don't have a filter for this lens, but the thread diameter noted on the front of the lens is 62mm. You can also check all lens specs at the fujifilm website.

It comes with a lens hood. If you didn't get one you contact Sony. Otherwise it is a wide angle zoom lens and you will need a Sony SH117 Lens Hood for a 72mm lens.

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 got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

Steve, The size of the hood is the diameter of the ring that attaches it to the lens. I have a Nikon 18-55mm lens which has a diameter of 52mm. Check the underside of the lens cap, it is normally marked there, or if you have a filter on the lens it is the diameter of the filter. David

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

I made a mistake, the rubber hood is for a wide angle lens up to 50mm or so. Sorry!!

58mm filter size. If new, the lens will come with a twist-on hood. You should always use the supplied hood, even though it will add 2.5 inches to the length of the already large lens. (It does reverse for storage) If you use the hood you will not need a filter for protection, first element will be far enough back to avoid damage. I found squeezing my fingers into the hood to apply the lens cap a hassle, so I wrapped the front edge of the hood with two layers of black electricians tape and now the top from a contained of "I can't believe it's not butter" fits perfectly on the outside. Looks Mickey Mouse, but I don't care. 58mm filter size. If new, the lens will come with a twist-on hood.

This lens takes a 72mm front filter. I highly recommend getting at least a UV filter and a circular polarizer
