What size Polarizing Filter would fit my 18-55mm lens?

Question

I have only found a 52mm one, is there another size that should fit it?

Answer 1

Well, if its a canon lens, or similar look on the front of the lens and take a good look at it. there should be a number on its own that says 58mm and it has an "O" with a line through it. that is the filter size that lens can accept. if you have a smaller filter, you CAN use it if you use a step down ring, but its generally not a good idea, since it ends up vignetting or cropping the final shot.

the best source for help is your local camera store.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Look at your lens in the on the front it will say what size it takes.  Look for the little 0 with the line throw it and the # that follow are the size you needs.  

Here for example. Look at this camera

Do you see on the bottom right the number upside down it have a little 0 with a line and then 58.  That means the size filter will be a 58mm.  

Good idea getting a Polarising filter.  They are great and everyone should have one.
