When using this hood can a filter be used with it as well? Does it have adverse effects on pictures?

I always have a UV or skylight filter mounted on my Canon lenses, purely as protection for the lens from either dust or damage. The hood can be screwed directly onto the filter and it does not effect your pictures.

When used on an 18-55mm lens, if placed outside of the filter at 18mm it will cause vignetting. If I placed the hood between the lens and filter, the filter would not properly fit inside the hood. From a semi-pro... pass...

Yes you can use a filter without any negative effects. However, it is very awkward to get the hood in place! Not worth the time and effort!

The hood can be used with the filter, in my personal experience however, when the lens turns so does the hood, instead of staying put.

Yes u can use both. The effect is a plus. using both has little light effect of the pictures under the sun. I am using them and the picture quality is amazing.

My primary reason for using this UV filter is to shield the front lens element from dirt, grime, and fingerprints. The quality of the filter is perfectly adequate and does not affect my imagess at all. Photographers seem to be split down the middle whether one should or should not always use a UV filter but since I see absolutely no difference in my photos both with and without the filter, it seems both prudent and convenient to use it. I'd rather subject the filter than the lens to the inevitable cleanings. especially in the field.

2 Part Answer. The lens does accommodate a filter, it's a 49. I have not tried it, but it does look like you would be able to get the hood on with a filter attached to lens. The hood itself also has threads, so you could filter that as well, it is a 40.5.

I use a thin uv filter mainly for protection of the front element. It works fine! This is a great lens and I think you will enjoy it! Take care, Doc

You should be able to, it isn't easy but you can thread the filter on after the hood is attached to the camera. I use a CPL for most of my Auto photography and it isn't conducive to that, but there are few lens hoods that are. If you don't need to adjust the filter that you are installing I don't see why there would be any issue using any filter with this hood. It isn't the easiest thing to take on and off, just make sure that you depress the buttons on the side to retract the bayonets. I think that is what others that left bad reviews on this hood were having.

The previous response is correct, you need an adapter to use filters. But if you use the adapter, you can't use a lens hood. The filter/adapter is wider than the lens.

There are none. No room for a filter because the lens is protruding outward. Just be very careful and keep the lens hood on always.

Yes, any filters with 52mm diameter should be fine, but lens hoods will give you black spots on certain focal lengths.

I really don't think so, if you want to use a filter with this camera I recommend you buy a square filter and hold it over your lens while shooting photos.

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.

Not that I am aware of. I usually have to flush it with the end of the camera. I never have had a hood on. I would use it then place the hood on but that might make your white balance off because of the lack of light when the hood is on vs. no hood.

Hello. Sadly after buying it I noticed that it is inappropriate to use filters, leaves a shadow around the image

Yes, don't listen to these yahoo's who tell you not too. You are protecting your investment. Better to crack a filter than the actual lens, especially a more expensive one. And to the person who said it affects lens flaring... that's what a lens hood is for.I slap a $10 Vivitar on every lens I get. From my nifty-fifty Minolta to my Zeiss and G lenses. There is practically no difference in image quality and if anything it might be better. I am a professional photographer who shoots weddings, portraits, landscapes, etc and never take my equipment without protection.

I Couldn´t tell about filters, but what I can tell you is that is a headache to keep de lens cap in place while using this hood...

Hello, It fits fine on mine. The filter has an internal tread so it's outside dimension is exactly the same size as the outside of the lens. I have not had any issues with the hood showing up in pictures. I don't think you can put it on wrong, but the shorter flanges should orient side to side. Hope this helps...

Takes a standard 77mm UV filter. Not sure if it creeps into the image. I can check.

The external diameter across the front of the hood is about 77mm. I don't believe you could thread a 77mm filter into that lens; moreover, trying to manipulate a filter to thread into the internal diameter might prove to be a real pain.
