What make camera/lenses take 55mm screw on filters?

[68degrees]

Most of my Nikon SLR lenses takes 52mm, what cameras/lens lines take 55mm?

Thanks

55mm was the 'standard' size for the Canon FD breechlock lenses

To my knowledge, some of the Contax mount Zeiss lenses, ie: the 50/1.4 , 28/2.8 and some of the Minoltas ie: the 58/1.2, several other 50s, and the 28/2.0

Minolta made 49mm and 55mm back when.

Thanks Im trying to figure out what they fit. I got them for free.

My Contax G21and Leica APO 90/2 ASPH, 24/2.8 ASPH, 21/2.8 ASPH do.

Some Leica R lenses (e.g. 28/2.8 II, 35/2, 50/2, 50/1.4 I, 60/2.8, 90/2, 90/2.8) take 55mm filters too.

The Canon 1.2/50mm RF lens takes 55mm.

The Yashica Electro GS and GSX take 55mm.

Had a Konica AR lens that took 55mm filters but cannot recall what lens it was, maybe the 1.4/57mm.

almost all konica ar lenses, except the 21/4 i think, take 55s.

I've got an Auto-Sears 55/1.4 with 55mm filter. Lovely lens.

Yes -- Konica AR, particularly the earlier ones, were 55mm. The MC Minoltas were 55mm, and the breech mount Canon FDs. In all cases, when the cameras were "shrunk" to go with the smaller fashion set by the Olympus OMs, the lenses were redesigned and reduced in size also, with smaller filter rings.

with stepping rings they will fit lots of lenses

I use a 55mm softar filter on my 52mm Nikkors and my X100, using stepping rings.

Yes, every Canon FD lens I own but my 17mm takes 55mm filters. Quite convenient, really.

Many Olympus Zuiko lenses take 55mm filters.

 

[mbisc]

Most of the Contax lenses (IIRC, all except super-wides and high speed, non-normal lenses - e.g. f1.4/85mm) take 55mm filters. Got a number of them, and it makes buying filters easy. My D25, D35, 1.4P50 and even the 80-200VS all take 55mm filters, the D18 does not...

Contax G lens hoods for 28 & 45: I think. My own info-doc shows this, but the cameras are not close at hand to verify.

Before the fashion of making everything smaller, 55mm filter was STANDARD on Canon FD, Olympus Zuiko, Minolta Rokkors. Canon dropped to 52 later; Minolta followed Olympus to 49mm. Contax C/Y mount was introduced just prior to the downsizing era and they were 55 standard as well, as someone mentioned. And as you see above, there are plenty of others.

Some Vivitars take 55mm as well: 80-200mm f/4.5

Tamron 24mm f/2.5, 70-210mm f/4.5
