What Size Filter Do I Need?
To achieve a secure attachment, these filters are designed to screw onto lenses with a standard filter threading. Prior to purchase, confirm a precise fit by checking your camera's lens thread size. The size is denoted by the symbol "Φ" followed by a number (e.g., Φ82 for an 82mm lens thread). Locate this information on the front glass element, lens cap, manual, or information from the manufacturer.
