Is there any way to use a filter with this lens?

the curvature of the glass makes it so you can't use a filter. But there are other wide angle lenses that do allow you touse a filter. My Tokina 11-16mm uses filters.

Obviously it's impossible to use a screw on type filter, but you can use hand held filters.

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 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.

No, unfortunately there is not. The ring on the lens adjusts the focal length only.

You would have to look at your lens and see if it takes a 62 mm filter. Usually it is stamped somewhere on the lens.

I don't think there are any filter threads, no threading to secure them on the lens itself.

You can add filters designed for that lens (50mm f/1.8). Same as the hood. See previous answer

No, because of the len's curve and the hood, there is no room for a filter. I don't find this as a problem. For the price and results, this is an exceptional lens. It is worth every penny. Learn to work with the parameters and you will be pleased with the results.

yes.With the appropriate adapter ring .which in this case is 58mm.If you buy a series of adapter rings, you can use these filters with any lens diameter.

this is really not a lens, but a filter that screws onto your lens. You can get cheap adapters to fit it to just about anything, but i think 58mm is what this is

There is a ring mount (sizes vary per lens) that screws onto your lens. The filter holder then snaps onto the ring. They are fairly cheap but sold separately.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

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

I really don't think so, if you want to use a filter with this camera I recommend you buy a square filter and hold it over your lens while shooting photos.

If you get the lens with a canon mount, yes. Be advised, because of the convex lens, it does not accommodate screw on filters.
