Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Look on your lens!. There is somewhere on your lens that has a circle with a line through it with a number If your 18-55 mm lens is a Nikon it takes a 52 mm filter, if it is a Canon, the it takes a 58 mm filter and Pentax a 52 mm filter!. Nikon 50 mm lens = 52 mm filter Nikon AF-S 50 mm lens = 58 mm filter Canon 50 mm f/1!.4 lens = 58 mm filter Canon 50 mm f/1!.8 lens = 52 mm filter Pentax 50 mm lens = 58 mm filters Pentax 50 mm mcP FA lens = 49 mm filterWww@QuestionHome@Com Because your 18-55 mm refers to the distance inside the lens and the 58mm filter is the measurement of the diameter of the filter!. Two entirely different measurements!.Www@QuestionHome@Com because the 18-55 refers to the focal length of the Lens and the 58 mm refers to the diameter of the Lens!. They are measuring different things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
