Can we mount filters on it? I dont see the lens having a thread. Please help. Thanks

Yes, it is threaded for filters and I have a high-end filter on it. I've used this lens for one year on my NEX 7 and am very pleased with the performance, despite what some reviewers have said. My wife has the same lens on her NEX 7 and she ignores her 3 other lenses.

Sorry, I said you can't, but now I see that you can mount 40.5mm filters on it.

The thread is there but it's a smaller diameter than most of the other E-type lenses so you will need a new set of filters. The lens is very compact but the images need to be corrected for distortion. SONY provides software for this as do Photoshop and LightRoom.

The lens is threaded and you need the proper adapter for your camera. If I remember correctly when you order you let them know what you have.

The filter thread for that lens is 37mm. This info should be in the owners manual.

Yes, it has the threads for the filter. Sometimes a leave the hood installed with the lens cap attached to the threads.

The DMW-GWC1 is not threaded to take filters. You could likely rig an adaptation for square mount filters, like the Cokin system.

On is a polarizing filter (the one labeled 'CPL') but it is threaded. You might be able to get an adapter so that you can use threaded filters on your camera?

The lens end does not have threads to accommodate installation of the filters so I sent back. I don't understand the responses saying the filters fit: they don't.

I looked up the model of your camera and from what I can see looking at the front of the lens I would say no, because it doesn't appear the lens has threads for a filter, but it would perhaps be a good idea to write the manufacturer and ask that question

I don't think so. You have to have threads on the end of the lens where you would screw on filters.

This mounts to the outside side of the lens and has no effect on filters. It doesn't screw into the filter threads at the end of the lens.

The external diameter across the front of the hood is about 77mm. I don't believe you could thread a 77mm filter into that lens; moreover, trying to manipulate a filter to thread into the internal diameter might prove to be a real pain.

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

What you should probably look for is 37mm threaded lenses that have a 37mm thread inside of them so you can put the filter on the camera and then the lens on the filter...

Yes it does. It is threaded to take 46mm filters. But since the lens is a slight wide angle, make sure you buy a thin version of any filter so it won't protrude into the angle of view of the lens.

There is a little threading but when i asked customer support the same question via email they said there wasn't. I don't know what diameter the lens is and i doubt there is a 3rd party filter. However i did do an amazon search and found one that looks like it is mounted to the lens with three screws. But with it being a zoom lens I don't think it would stay on when fully retracted.

I'm not 100% positive but I don't think the P500 lens is threaded for a filter. The 58mm adapter simply steps up the filter thread sizeon a lens with an existing smaller thread size so that you can use your collection of 58mm filters. If your lens is not already threaded, this will not work.

From my experience, the lens barrel has to be flat and not recessed in order to provide a mounting surface for the filter's self-adhesive metal ring. Probably not a good choice for your camera.
