On the sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, why do you need to use a thin filter on it?

High quality filters designed specifically for sigma lens, a protective lens was intended to absorb ultraviolet radiation, is effective to remove the reflection of glass and water.

HI, due to the angle of the lens if you don't use a thin filter it will vignette around the edges.

I'm guessing you mean a 'thin mount' filter? The only reason to use a thin mount filter would be to avoid vignetting. I have not used a filter with this lens at all. Unless I absolutely have to have one, I stay away from anything but the actual lens glass itself. Occasionally (very occasionally) I'll put a CPL on, but that is about the only case.

You just have to avoid exposing the front of the lens to rain etc..just ordinary care quite simply. Its a wonderful lens anyhow and I use it very often as my only lens together with 20/1.7 when traveling

It is just a little bit thinner (a few mm) but that's not a big deal. The main difference is that the 20 mm lens is better optically.

I find no threads for filters on the fixed lens. You might be able to put filters on it that have an outside rim offset like the lens cover, but keeping them from falling off would be difficult even if you could find such an arrangement. Nowadays most filter colors and/or effects can be added by photoshop or its equivalents, so they aren't worth the bother most of the time. There are exceptions, but for most picture taking those are not really applicable.

its to keep light from getting in between the lens and the filter that goes in front of the lens. it is necessary.

As trivial as it may seem, don't skimp on a filter. You have a nice camera, so get a MULTI-COATED filter from someone like B&W, Heliopan, or Hoya. The multi-coatings reduce flare and reflections, just like your multi-coated Nikon lens -- again, don't skimp, it'll truly reduce the quality of your photo's especially in sunlight. The size of the filter should be imprinted on the lens, and yes, it's 67mm. A good filter is somewhere in the $50 neighborhood.

Yes, thus is one of the low cut filters, I'm not sure of the height, but works good with wide angle lenses without vignetting.

Because it goes on the front of your lens like a filter you would need one that is 67mm without a step-up ring or larger with an step-up ring.

I am using a 52mm UV filter on this camera. No problem. With a rubber hood there is a vignet problem at wide-angle. I ordered a 52mm to 67mm ring and a 67mm hood to take care of it.Great camera!

You can put a filter on it or you can use the self opening and closing lens cap. You cannot use both at the same time.

The adapter ring has to come off of the camera in order to install any filters. It is there to protect the threads. I'm not sure, but I don't think you need to remove it to use just a lens hood.

It would be helpful if you were more specific on which lens you'd be mounting the filter to. Thanks.

Hey Aaron, I actually haven't used a filter with this lens/camera setup yet. I am afraid that my NX1100 is not living up to what I had hoped and may soon find a good home. Hope you have better luck with yours!

I have the HS25 and there are threads to add filters and or other lenses on the lens. I purchased these but haven't used them yet.... I will get around to it one of these days.

The lens visor is threaded so a filter can be attached. As far as the size goes, there is a reference to 83mm on the lens but I have no idea what it refers to.

The answer is: Try lens adapter rings to fit larger lens filter. They're inexpensive and do the job.

NC filter protects your more expensive camera lens from damaging dust, scratches, flying debris. Much cheaper to buy another NC filter than have to replace $$ lens.
