I bought the kit last year. Adapter, filters and cap work fine in the Canon SX40 HS. The ruber hood does not, as cuts the corners in 24 mm lens setting. I am very satisfied with this kit. Excellent cost/benefit.

The kit is a great price for some starter filters. The filters are not the best, but that doesn't mean they don't work at all. I have found that the UV filter does help. I think most people buy a kit like this as a starter then add more expensive filters as they go.

The only reason to buy the Essential Kit is convenience. I found the filters to be okay. The only problem with a 58 mm filter is that it will give some vignetting at shorter focal lengths.

the filter u attached to the lens (that 58mm UV one) is always giving me lens flare especially wen am shooting video. i cannot comment on the other filters because you did not attach it to my consignment. Anyway i can only say the lens itself is the best

It comes with the Sony petal style hood inside the box ( I bought mine new from AMAZON ) If yours did not come with the orig hood, The Sony part number for the hood is ALC-SH119 and the filter size is 62mm so I would assume If you're going to start looking for an aftermarket hood, I would start looking for 62mm size hoods. PS- I love my 18-135 with the SAM motor, it's quiet and usable for AF in video mode. Most of all, the 18-135 is one of the Sony Alpha lens that is made in Japan.

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

I also purchased an full set of Cokin filters that came with several size adapter rings. A 58mm adapter was included, so I would have to say, yes.

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

When I bought this lens eleven or twelve years ago it came with different size adapter rings and it worked with my 58 and 52 mm film and digital lenses. It came with four different adapter rings. I noticed that people selling these lenses now say they work with specific cameras but this lens acts like a filter and screws on to existing lenses so as long as you have the right adapter ring the camera type should not matter unless they have changed some part of the design of the lens. I bought one of these lenses again last year when my old one broke and it worked just fine with several lenses. I am replacing the lens again because my home was robbed several months ago and my cameras and lenses were stolen.

B&H; photo recommends a 58MM haze filter on their Fuji mirrorless cameras with 18-55 filter. If you have questions look up their website, their online staff is very knowledgeable. In my experience the B+W filters are better made (and more expensive). The threading for lenses is universal so you could go with Hoya or others

Mine only came with the 58mm filter. I bought an adaptor ring separately for my 52mm lens mount.

Yeah this is just the adapter. As long as the lense or filter you're buying is 55mm you'll be good.

Kay, sounds like you may have lost your original hood? If so, and it were me, I would order the 58mm filter lens adapter and the 58mm lens hood and tethered lens cap. That way you are not only replacing the hood but making possible to use standard lens filters in the camera. The hood that comes with the camera doesn't allow for this. The adapter has come down in price on Amazon. Then get a set of filters.

The best value in a protection filter is the Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Clear Protector Digital Filter. I can't believe that price. I recently purchased a used Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 it came with a Sunpack UV filter, which destroyed the image quality of the lens. I took a couple pictures with no filter, to make sure I was going to keep the lens, then promptly ordered a Hoya Pro1 Clear filter for it. The larger 67mm filter for the Tamron, is 3 times what the 58mm is selling for, but, well worth it. There is NO degradation in image quality using the Hoya Pro1 Clear filter.

I had the 52mm it is 5/16" thick. Oh ! it made in Japan. I did had a few 77mm but not Hoya. Hoya made a good filter but not the best one.

This was new for me too. I came across this kit when I was searching for a filter kit by Hoya. I recommend that you check out their website hoyafilter.com, they detail what each lens is for. I also googled each lens type to get more info on them. To get the most out of them you should really read the manual for the camera or google "how to's" (not much on youtube), it does some pretty neat things. These lenses are great for playing around with the features! Hope this helps a bit. Oh and fyi, the lenses are stackable if you need multiple effects.

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.

I bought the 49 mm filter. And you need the lens adaptor tube and lens hood.This is the only way to protect your lens.Go to kenrockwell.com and read the x-100 user guide. Enjoy your cameraLonnie
