I got the lens adaptor for the filter lenses, which are 58mm. There are a varity of hoods that fit that standard size. There are a few designs, full tube types and even collapsable ones. Just whichever one fits your needs. I actually have two. You'll also need a standard 58mm size lens cap. I recommend getting the one with a tether string with elastic loop that fits around the main lens of the camera. This will keep you from losing the cap. It's short enough to not be in the way and makes it all worry free so to speak. Filters also help protect the main lens from dust and scratches. So even keeping a standard UV filter on all the time is important for not only haze and glare, but protection as well.

Its called a lens hood, and it comes with the camera. If you use this hood, you cannot add a lens filter.

There has been a LOT of discussion about the auxiliary filter (or extender lens) adapter for the SX30IS over on the DPReview Canon Forum. Guy named Bradly has one and has installed the tele extender lens (Olympus TCON-17) that I have been using with my Panasonic FZ50. Here's a link to get you going to pull out all the required info.

Yes the "Accessory Kit" works GREAT with my PS SX500 IS, I used the polarizer on a trip overseas and the blue skies and water were reflection free. The only lens I can't see using that much is the megenta one but it's there if I need it. Go for it the price is right and results are worth it.

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 bought it for my Canon SX40 and it works perfectly, but I'm not sure if the SX50 lens diameter is larger. This set does come with an adapter ring that fit snugly on my Canon SX40 which allows placement of the filters and you can also stack the filters and/or add the lens hood. I mainly just use the lens hood without filters as UV filters are a bit controversial on their protection vs image quality loss on poor glass. So sometimes I'll remove the UV and just use the Hood for bright days and it works nicely, but make sure you zoom out just a tad with this hood on or you get vignetting or see the edges of the hood in the corners of the photo unless you zoom out just a tad I bought it for my Canon SX40 and it works perfectly, but I'm not sure if the SX50 lens diameter is larger.

Thank you so much for the information. I bought some 58mm filters and an adapter and have held them in front. I will look for some 37mm so I can do your workaround. Thank you for the information.

So I'm having trouble with two things.....attaching the adapter ring on to the canon sx50 camera lens along with the vivitar series one filter. I see that the uv filter screws onto the adapter ring but can't get the whole thing onto the camera lens. Can someone guide me because I don't think I'm smarter than a 5th grader.

I am also looking for some supplemental filters for my P80 but unable to find any specs on the internal diameter of the lens that's on it. I have a 37mm polarizing screw-in lens from an older camera and it's just shy of the diameter of the P80. By my measurements the P80 is 38mm ID but I can't find any supplemental filter companies that make a polarizing filter that size aside from Hasselblad at a cost of $300+. If anyone can verify the ID being 38mm and find a source for some filters I would be greatly thankful.

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.

I always have a UV or skylight filter mounted on my Canon lenses, purely as protection for the lens from either dust or damage. The hood can be screwed directly onto the filter and it does not effect your pictures.

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!

You can get a filter, but the depth of the lens hood obviates the need for it. I just got back from Australia shooting with the lens in all weather and conditions and did not use a filter. Better images that way as well.Regards,Evan

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.

No, it did not fit on my sx50 hs. I tried for an hour, and then the next day, but it still didn't work. I used it instead on my wife's sx40 and it fits, so, I did not have to return it. I bought another much more expensive filter from Hoya 58mm that includes an adapter ring. I do not remember anymore where I bought it.

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.

Sorry, haven't had the opportunity to try and compare the SX1is to the other two models.I'll tell you this though, after taking the SX30is for a test run there is NO WAY I would keep it over my SX20is when it xomes to the discussion of image quality.
