Is this safe for my Sony a7R since it doesn't have an actual optical low pass filter? I know that even the D800e has a glass filter.

The orange Visible Dust swabs are made for sensors without low pass filters. They cost more but they work.

I just bought an adapter ring that accepts 67mm filters. So far, so good. I can't believe that Nikon offers NO support for this. I tried the 'tube' adapter and it really didn't work for me at all. I zoom in and out all the time and with the tube on you can't do that. I will say that the adapter ring that I bought was REALLY loose at first and I didn't think it would work out. It seems to have seated itself to my camera no and stays on quite nicely.

Well, I have the Nikon D4 and it was very easy to install. I figure that with the D800e it's the same. Plug it in the little hole in front of the camera. And it works really nice!.

You need a filter that passes infrared light and blocks much of the visible light or you will just get normal B&W; shots. I've used a Cokin 007 filter, which is equivalent to an 89B. This is a very dark filter; you get more of an IR effect with filters that block more visible light. This is not a true IR film so the effect won't be as extreme, but you can still get some good shots with light leaves and dark skies.

On the D80 you have to prefocus before using the filter as the D80 has no live view and you cannot see anything with the filter attached, AF and metering do not work either. That required the camera be tripod mounted and all auto functions set to manual. It is much simpler to use it on a newer camera with live view mode such as a D7000.

Hi Keith, I do not use filters on my lenses. I do use the lens hoods. After 33 years as a professional photographer I find the filters a bit of a pain.

Good Nicole! This filter is hero3 +, I would remind you that the LCD only came a back door and not change the complete housing. The hero3 brought the case that enduring 60 meters and is clearly distinguishable by the small screws on the lens. So I recommend that before buying the filter look good in the photos and the model of your camera body. Filter is 100% worth, improves the image severely! I hope resolve you doubts!

The lens on the camera accepts 55mm filters. I have a vivitar 55mm uv-haze filter and a polarizing lens. I'm going to purchase a 1A filter to help protect the cameras lens from damage.

I used this filter to photograph the partial solar eclipse on 10/23/2014, see my pictures in the reviews of this filter. I found the filter worked well when shooting through the clouds but it was not dark enough when the sky was cloudless. I will try stacking 2 of these filters for future use. When shooting the Sun with this filter DO NOT LOOK THROUGH THE VIEWFINDER!!! Though dark this filter does not block any of the IR light that will burn your retinas. You must use the live view screen for composition.

I have had two of these filters. They do not appear to affect the quality of pictures at all, as opposed to cheaper filters that can distort the focus. While it is nice to think you will never damage a lens, my cameras go everywhere with me, often into rough terrain. The first filter had to be replaced after my camera was knocked off a table, landing squarely on the lens. While the filter rim was bent, the (expensive) lens was undamaged. The second was to replace a filter that got scratched - and certainly it if had not been in place the lens would have been damaged instead.

I haven't used my A710 in freezing temps yet, but I have used the A620, SD450, and S400 without any problems besides the batteries dying quicker due to the cold. Haven't had a problem with moisture until I dropped my A620 into a river, that definitely killed it. Almost killed my A710 recently by getting sand in the retractable lens, but it worked it's way out.

I have several brands of adapters this one is a very good quality for the price - I use them with vintage Nikon & Olympus lenses from the 70's & 80, that are a full 35mm format with excellent results on a Sony nex 7 but of course do not get the 35mm full frame on the nex 7 - if the non Sony lens you plan to use is designed for a 35mm format you will get the full frame sensor coverage on the Alpha a7 and 7 r - I am testing the Alpha 7R at the moment and will probably purchase when I have confirmed the full frame results from the vintage lenses the fotodiox is better than most in that price range Harry F I have several brands of adapters this one is a very good quality for the price - I use them with vintage Nikon & Olympus lenses from the 70's & 80, that are a full 35mm format with excellent results on a Sony nex 7 but of course do not get the 35mm full frame on the nex 7 - if the non Sony lens you plan to use is designed for a 35mm format you will get the full frame sensor coverage on the Alpha a7 and 7 r - I am testing the Alpha 7R at the moment and will probably purchase when I have confirmed the full frame results from the vintage lenses the fotodiox is better than most in that price... » Read More I have several brands of adapters this one is a very good quality for the price - I use them with vintage Nikon & Olympus lenses from the 70's & 80, that are a full 35mm format with excellent results on a Sony nex 7 but of course do not get the 35mm full frame on the nex 7 - if the non Sony lens you plan to use is designed for a 35mm format you will get the full frame sensor coverage on the Alpha a7 and 7 r - I am testing the Alpha 7R at the moment and will probably purchase when I have confirmed the full frame results from the vintage lenses the fotodiox is better than most in that price range Harry F « Show Less

Probably a reasonable thing to do use a UV filter for haze. With the G10 (like most point and shoots without a lens thread) you will require an extension tube to fit onto the bayonet fitting surrounding the lens. I intend to include a PL filter which will greatly enhance sky and water. In order to replace the camera in its case this fitting will have to be removed each time.I didn't write this - someone else did under my name. Perhaps the whole discussion business is a sham to sell more gear!

It supports sony's e-mount system and I believe the a7r has the e-mount system. Double check though.

Thank you very much, ALT, I really appreciate your feedback. Yesterday I ordered the Fuji S1000fd instead. For $231 the 10MP and 12X optical zoom was just unbeatable. Now I've got to find out if I can use filters on it, too. Thank you!

I'm guessing you mean a 'thin mount' filter? The only reason to use a thin mount filter would be to avoid vignetting. I have not used a filter with this lens at all. Unless I absolutely have to have one, I stay away from anything but the actual lens glass itself. Occasionally (very occasionally) I'll put a CPL on, but that is about the only case.

There is no thread on the inner lip of front glass of this lens. So it is difficult to see how it would accept a filter. On page 195 of the Owner's Manual, there is a discussion of Protection Filters. However, the filters mentioned are e.g. DMW-LMC52. This is a 52 mm filter that threads onto the camera's lens, not onto the DMW-LT55. It is possible to leave the DMW-LMC52 filter in place but it will not protect the DMW-LT55 lens. The diameter of the front of the DMW-LT55 lens, which is exposed, is ~ 75 mm. So, the bottom line is that I cannot protect the outside glass of my DMW-LT55.
