Right size filters for lens

[Jayesh]

I just been looking in for sale, i have notice most of filters are for sale has many different sizes (mm). I just wondering how can i find out the correct size for my lens? Sorry for me dumbo :bonk:

It should be marked on the front, near a little symbol that looks like an o with a line through it. If that fails, google the model name, the manufacturer should give the spec.

Normal round filters will take a lens cap.

Square ones won't.

If you can't see the diameter marked on the lens, it'll probably be marked on the cap. Look for the symbol ø followed by a couple of figures and mm. If you tell us all exactly which lens it is, I'm sure someone will be able to tell you the filter size needed.

18-55 = 58mm filter & 50mm f1.8 = 52mm filter

Yep, correct! If you buy a cheap convertor ring, you can use 58mm on both!
