Is the lens threaded? Can you attach a UV filter like you can on the Panasonic FZ70?

Not really... if you look really close at the "threads" they are just a few parallel ridges. Yes, you can fit a filter, but "just". And I'd recommend buying an Ultra Thin UV filter, like the one sold by Zomei. It's very thin and fits snug enough (I had trouble fitting others securely). The only problem is an ultra thin doesn't grip the lens cap all that well. Make sure you leave the string keeper on the cap so you don't lose it. We also have a P530 and that cannot fit a filter at all.

Yes, but you need to turn the camera on to extend the lens in order to properly fit a UV filter on it. The camera lens cap will fit over the UV filter but will stick out a little; it's secure, though.

The one i received does not have threading on the front.... you could use a hood but it would have to be one that fits over the front of the lens and that is a little bigger than 68mm according to their website....

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...

not possible. the lenses screw on one at a time. the uv filter doesnt make a difference.......take a look at this yourtube vid.....http://youtu.be/3g2NvQ6DfV4

Short answer; It does NOT have threads to screw on a filter.To put a filter on/in front of, you would need a different (suggest) holder apart from the lens, that would accept filter plates to slide in/out.

I'm using the same Raynox with my fz200 with good results. It comes with the necessary thread adapters. It would be good if I could get mine to work with the adapter tube as well for extra support, but the Panasonic original adapter tube has a ridge inside towards the back that interferes. It just won't fit. I've considered trying the cheaper "knock-off" adapter tube that I've seen available, but haven't tried that yet. Meanwhile, I just make sure to give extra support by the way I hold the camera and lens when shooting. Luckily, the Raynox converter is quite light weight.

no I bought these separately " Zeikos ZE-WA37B- 37mm 0.45X Wide Angle Lens (Black) " and this one "Zeikos ZE-2X37B 37mm High Quality 2x Telephoto Lens (Black)" and also bought this "TIFFEN 37mm UV Protector Filter" to mount to the movie mount so I could just screw on and off the lenses however you have to remove the glass lens from the filter ring by unscrewing it ( this i learned by contacting the seller) this will allow you to have a metal ring to screw the lens to instead of the plastic movie mount which the threads will strip over time !

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

The work around for not having the standard threaded filter is to order a FOTGA Pro-D 47mm PRO-D Multi-Coated UV protection filter that is attached with a special adhesive that bonds to the flat outer surface of the front of the zoom lens. It can be ordered on eBay from Hong Kong photo supply vendors.

These lenses (filters) screw directly on the thread on the front element of the camera lens. The thread is very fine and not easy to see at a casual glance. When on the lens they do not obstruct the zoom operation or the lens cap which protects the lens when the camera is not in operation. Fitting the UV filter permanently is a good idea since it protects the front element of the lens from scratches and dust. Hope this helps. Peter

The lens is threaded for a 37mm filter of any kind. So Yes. See: http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/m-zuiko-14-42mm-f3-5-5-6-ii.html

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 only use one lens for this camera, the 20 mm F1.7 prime lens, for which I do not use filters. I've never used UV filters and have not missed them.

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

You can't add filters to the front of this lens. Those threads are for factory assembly and do not extend far enough to screw anything on.

I received my SX1 on 2009Jun30. It has threads. I leave polarizer and UV filter on it all the time.

If you are asking if you can thread a filter onto the end of the lens... negative Ghost Rider, the end of the adaptor lens is completely smooth inside and out.
