Canon LTM UV filter for Canon 50mm f1.8

[SteveMc]

Hi everyone,

I have a Canon P with 50mm f1.8 lens and have been looking for ma 40mm UV filter to help protect the front element.

Finally a few have come in from Japan and are bein sold on ebay by a company called Real Camera, based in Manchester, UK

here is a link to them.

Or another option, a 40mm screw in adapter converted to 43mm, then a hood on top of that. In between the adapter and the hood, I also use a 43mm UV/IR filter when mounted on the M8

See ePay item number 110409130049

Hi Steve, I bought a couple of 40mm filters a few years back I think from real camera. They were 40mm but the threads were that dodgy that they would only go on a turn or two. I have an old 40mm Hoya on my f1.8; Keep you eyes open, they're around. Andrew.

Yes, the thread pitch can be different, so be careful. Check out this thread (of course, no pun intended :angel🙂.

Hi,
on the Canon 50mm f/1.8, i have a serie VI (6) filter slipped between the hood and the adapter 42mm A.
Same on 35mm f/2.8, but with serie VI-34mm Canon adapter.

Aside from using 1960s vintage filters, I recommend a 40 to 40.5mm step-up ring. The availability of 40.5mm filters is pretty good, at least in USA.

Hi everyone, the filter arrived today and fits perfectly. Shame it's a black, looks a bit strange on the nice silver barrel🙁 but it will protect that front element...

BTW any recommendations for a cheap (maybe Russian) 28 or 35mm wide angle lens? I know it's probably the worse place to ask this but I haven't time to post elsewhere at present. I'm busy but in a good way, I am doing things for my pleasure🙂
