I am probably missing something obvious but I'll ask anyways. i bought this set for my new NEX 3N and they don't fit on the lens. How do these work?

You can mount this filters set only on a 49 mm diameter lens. For example on a Sony SEL SEL1855 18-55 mm lens.

These will fit on any Sony brand E-mount lens (or any other lens with 49mm filter threads). If you've got a Sigma lens, those are 46mm (I believe).It just screws into the threads on the front of the lens, should be really easy. Don't over tighten it, both the lens threads and the filter are made of plastic.

The filters screw onto the lens. These fit 49mm lens filter threads only. Maybe your lens filter threads are a different size.

I tried them on my a6000 and auto focus didn't work on either of 2 lenses. No idea what was wrong. I returned them.

They should work for your camera. Just make sure you have the correct measurement for your lens. 52mm is the measurement for these filters. If you're not sure what size your lens is, look on the bottom of your lens. It's usually the last number or number next to the symbol of a (circle w/a line drawn through it.) Hope that helps you!

Mina, I've noticed that these adapters fit really tight to the zeiss lens. I use them on several different zeiss lens and they all are tough to get off. With the rear element of then lens facing you, you might notice the small release pin that sticks out slightly. It's like a little price of metal that sticks out (towards the inside of the adapter ring). The idea is to gently push that in while twisting the adapter. It should come off. Just make sure that you are twisting the correct way. It's a little snug, so you will have to twist a bit more that you might like. It's nerve wracking the first time.

Even pros can miss the simplest of things ( I.e. The lens cap is on!) But did you remember to depress the rounded metal tab of the macro tube that releases it from the body cleats? (or rails ? ). That's the only thing I can think of. I purchased the set for Canon so I can't be any more specific or lend any other option. Sorry.

when i used them on my kit lens i needed to zoom in to about 50mm. if you are zoomed all the way out you can kinda see the edges of the bokeh. also i didnt get the exact shape i wanted. i tried the heart one and lights that where out of focus in the center of my view finder looked... ok.. a little less shape than expected. and going away from the center of the frame the shapes get more and more unrecognizable.i believe these really work just for 50mm or larger.

Hey A.M.M Arguello, I noticed in your initial post you mentioned you have the NEX-3 camera. I also noticed in your last post that you ordered the 55-210 mm zoom lense. Have you had a chance to use the 55-210 mm zoom lense with your NEX-3 yet? Have you had any problems? I only ask because on the sony website this lense does not list the NEX-3 as a compatible camera. However I think this has to do with the fact that the NEX-3 was technically a discontinued model when this lense was released. Any first hand experience you can provide would be much appreciated.

Nathan, I had to buy a ring adapter, it screws onto the end of your lens (58mm) then i bought the adapter ring that went from a 58mm down to a 52mm. Hope this helps.. the adapter ring is only a couple bucks plus shipping, if you go on ebay and watch u can pick then up for about $3-$4 and free shipping

Yes, they fit at the very end of your lens. They screw on the very tiny threads. It took me a little while to figure out.

You must look at the thread size of your lens and not just what lens it is. These are two different things.

You have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly. All of the rings do not work, so look them over carefully and choose the correct ones, put the others aside so you don't get them mixed up.

These are 58mm screw in extension lenses. If your camera accepts a 58mm filter. They will work. They go on top of an existing lens.

I don't know. ordered the lens kit, and afer trying to getting it to work on my camera, I sent it back for a refund. The seller was not helpful tryng to tell me how to make them go on, and as much as I tried, I was unsuccessful ... and very frustated.My advce, get it from a local camera shop, pay a little bit more, but they can show you how to work with it.

Hi, I'm sorry. I am no expert on these lenses.. I bought it, on amazon, after discovering it was compatible with the Sony NEX5R that I bought... I have no other knowledge about them. Good luck...

I'm sorry that I can't give a reliable answer. I called Sony about it while I had the lens in my possession and was told that it didn't apply to my NEX-7. Sony Customer service was quite helpful. I suggest trying them. Unless there is new stock at Amazon, my understanding is that you will likely have to send the lens to Sony for upgrade if yours is not the NEX-7 model.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.
