does the Canon SX40 come with a UV filter?

no, it's an inexpensive purchase but can save you mucho bucks if you scratch or break the lens. it also helps eliminate ultra violet rays and a bluish cast when shooting in bright sunlight.

I have the "Regular" B&W; UV filter on my Canon 10-22 with no vignetting. I took 2 shots for you off my deck. The first one has no filter; the second one has the regular B&H; UV fiter. OOPS! There is no way to attach files to this reply. Give me a few minutes and then go to my web site for the pix: http://michaelsimonds.com Look for "Test Shots." Good imaging to you!

Just a novice, but I installed a 52mm screw-on UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it from scratches. This keeps dirt off the lens and allows me to clean only the filter with alcohol wipes without fear of damaging the lens. If the UV filter gets scratched, it is easily, and most importantly, inexpensively replaced. Check with a real camera store for cleaning materials for lenses. On-line searches for camera forums should also provide a wealth of information.

Look on ebay or even better get a 40.5mm uv filter and dont worry about the cap. Makes it more of a quick draw pocket camera IMHO.

The case was just fine. As soon as I got the filter it went on the lens. I don't keep UV filters in stock - too expensive ( especially B&W;).

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.

No it doesn't.. But the flash and diffuser make up for it in macro pictures so a red filter isn't needed.

It is best to not use a clear filter. A UV/clear filter can indeed affect image quality, particularly when the sun is in the frame. This can result in some rather un-attractive flare and blobs. As long as you keep the hood on when shooting, the front element should be protected, unless you are unreasonably hard with your gear.

Yes, the one I bought came with a lens cover. However, I purchased a separate UV Filter that screws on the camera lens. This serves as permanent lens cover and you don't have to worry about taking the lens cover off or losing it. If you scratch the UV lens, simply replace.

Hello Sandy. Filters do a lot to the photographs. They eliminate the glare the sun causes, The haze the air shows sometimes, the greenish skin tones. They also protect the cameras lens from getting scratched.

The Powershot sx50 takes 58mm filters, but this kit has an adapter ring so the filters in the kit fit the camera perfectly.

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.

You can get a P89 thread adaptor at www.nextphoto.net. Works loke a charm. I used the 52 mm adaptor. then you get a standard UV filter. T. Preston

On a business trip to NY my husband stopped in at B&H; Photo to find a UV filter for the SX20 IS. They tried both 58mm and 52mm in all brands and nothing fit. I found online an adapter from Lensmate (http://lensmateonline.com/newsite/SX10SX1.html). Great discussion on attaching filters. Has anyone purchased this and what's your recommendation.

You can't put a filter or a lens hood onto the lens. It has no threads & it retracts when turned off. The camera has some digital 'filters' built in, but that doesn't protect your lens like a real UV filter for instance that you would leave on.

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.
