Only better if you already have other 58 mm filters..... if you already have other 67mm filters, then you should purchase the 67mm.I own (3) SX series cameras, & all three use 58mm filters...on purpose. I perfer a filter that obviously fits the 58mm lens barrel & not an over-size 67mm. I have had no vignetting problem with all the 58mm filters.

It really depends on the size filters/lens that you have or want to use. I have a ton of 58mm lenses so that is why I bought this one. I imagine that they both are of good quality but again, it's all about what size lens you are going to be using.

Hi, I've tried and compare the 67mm adaptor from canon. But the filter will be cheaper if u get 58mm compare with the same filter with 67mm. The adaptor is a kind if like twist and lock to the lens mounting just like mount a hood. It does not affect the lens retraction. The 58mm and 67mm are actually referring to front side of the adaptor where u CDMA fit in the filter. The other end where u twist and lock to the lens mounting, both type are the same size.

I use 58mm because I do not want an over size filter-67mm. while using the 58mm, I do not have the vignetting problem so I think 58mm is good with the Canon Powershot SX series.

It depends on the diameter of the lens where the threads are for attaching filters. I'd guess that a zoom of that size has a larger diameter than the 58mm filter. You could measure the diameter, but the most foolproof way is to take it to a store and find a filter that fits.

both, which one you need actually depends on which converter you have.. the canon one is 58 mm. there is also a converter from lensemate, which comes in 52 mm, or 58 mm. so if you already have 58 mm filters and stuff, stick with the 58 mm converter. I got the canon converter, I just like the little flair to the converter, and 58 mm filters are pretty easy to find. you wont be able to put a filter on a "naked" camera, there is a little ring that you need to pop off the lense and screw on the converter.

No, the original SX series cap no longer fits after the adapter and filter are mounted onto the camera. The 58mm lens cap must be used....

Hello Judy, I know nothing about your camera but in this case camera is irrelevant. What you will need to know is 1. What size your lens that the filter will mount to is-in this case 58mm? Does your lens allow the filter to even screw on or have a way to attach itself. Cheers.

I only use the one adapter ring for all. If you use separate ones, I'd think you run the risk of wrecking the thread on the camera. I'd rather wreck the threads and replace the filter than the camera! (Keeping the camera and adapter as one unit)

I could not find the filter size in any of the Canon documentation. On a forum I read it is a bayonet mount, which means you need a converter to fit filters.The converter I found - which support my initial idea it has not filter thread, but bayonet: Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (Compatible with Canon 67mm Filters: Circular Polarizing PL-C B, Protect Filter).So with this bayonet-to-filter adapter you can use 67 mm filters. The adapter costs 22 USD at Adorama; 26.50 USD on Amazon, but you can buy a fake one of Bower:Lens Tube Adapter 67mm for Canon PowerShot SX520 HS SX60 HS SX50 HS SX40 HS SX30 IS SX20 IS SX10 IS SX1 ISI would go for the Bower and then add a nice 67 mm UV and a 67 mm polarizing filter (if you like punchy blue skies).

Hi Soozie,The sx 50 adapter ring has one side threaded, As you may have already noticed, the SX cameras don't have traditional lens threads found on DSLRs, but rather "grooves". The SX ring adapter should fit by attaching it to the grooves with a bit of mild pressure. Then a 1/4 turn and the adapter should be securely fitted on to the lens.Customer Service Team

Here's the thing, Sarah... first you need to make sure the filter thread size of your lens matches the thread size of the adaptor. Then, you need to make sure that the lens mount of your camera matches the lens mount of the adapter. Finally, there are some things that make it difficult to tell how well a lens will work with a reversing ring. With most lenses, the rear of the lens is a fixed distance from the camera sensor, and how long the front lens is from the filter ring doesn't really matter. When you reverse the lens, that's all backwards. So some of it depends on how far the filter threads are from the front of the lens, and that isn't standard. For example, a 35mm Canon lens may have more space between the filter threads and the front of the glass, then say a 35mm Tamron or Sigma lens. Normally, that doesn't matter, but when you use a reversing ring, it moves the entire lens closer or further away from the camera sensor, and that greatly affects the magnification. So the only way to tell is to see if anyone used it with your specific lens, or to take the chance and try it.

P. Hudson,I made it look confusing. I think the lense thread is 60mm. The adapter would be 60mm to 67mm to accept the 67mm filters. That's the best guess I can come up with.

Dear Customer, The adapter ring that is included in this kit is designed for Canon SX500 IS camera lens, the ring will allow you to attach any 52mm threaded filter, step-up ring or macro lens to your camera model. Since the adapter is mounted on the very front of the lens. Have a great day. Sincerely, Customer Service

I have the same question. I believe the guide talks using and adapter (FA-DC67A) for attaching a 67mm filter but this not necessary means that the filter fo this camera is a 67mm. Every where they do offer a 58mm lens for this camera. Isn't it true?

It is not made for use on the Canon PowerShot SX50 type camera. The filter adapter that is made for the SX50 is the Canon FA-DC67A. This adapter bayonets onto the camera lens for using 67mm threaded filters. The Canon 250D Close-up lens is 58mm filter thread. A 67mm to 58mm step-down ring could be used to mount it onto the adapter, but it wouldn't be recommended.

Sorry Keith and Kenneth, you are both incorrect, I have the S1 in front of me and there clearly are threads on the front of the lens, in fact the furnished lens cap snaps into those threads. Fuji just wants us to buy their expensive adapter requiring an expensive 72mm filter. Measuring the threads they appear to be 53.5 or 54mm I don't have a precision caliper but a 52mm is slightly too small and a 55mm is slightly too large. 53.5mm & 54mm adapters are rare so I am convinced Fuji deliberately did this to discourage one from just buying a regular filter.

If only the adapter is mounted on the camera (I leave mine on my SX50 permanently), the original lens cap still fits fine, inside of it. If you leave a 58 mm filter also on the camera, then you will have to buy a 58 mm lens cap, because the original lens cap is much smaller in diameter.

Hi Debi,The lens kit comes with a 58mm adaptor ring and all of the lenses are 58mm.I use only 58mm filters on my sx50hs.I hope this was the answer you were looking for.

Yes Lensmate sells adapter for Canon SX Models.It's held on by the two horns for the shade hood and accommodation for 58mm filter... that's it.If you want to mount to a telescope theirs several fixtures that allows you to mount the fixture onto the adjustment eye piece on a refractor type telescope,then the camera mounts to the fixture. "BUT" if you accidentally hit "ZOOM" the lens slams into the eye piece jamming the lens or breaking the mechanism. It can be done Orion sells the adapter,but their culmsee
