Canon 50MM f1.8 II lens - does this screw on or twist on? Specs say "bayonet mount." Also, previous answers say both screw and twist. Which is it?

The Fotodiox C-ES-62 lens hood has very fine 52mm threads, and will screw onto the lens, or a UV filter, if you use one - just snub it on lightly, don't over tighten it !

You would need take out the front plastic cover. The one around the lens by twisting it to the left. So push and twist it off. Replace that with your plastic adapter and then screw your lens in.. There are 2 dots you need to align and twist to the right. I hope this helps..

I presume you mean the stop-screw that can be seen at 9 O'Clock in the image here (since the main lens fittings are all bayonet fittings). I think it's either 1mm 0.25 pitch or 0.8mm 0.2 ptich.

ALL AF capable lenses that i've ever touched will allow you to rotate it past the two places where it should stop. The only lense i've ever handled that had a proper mechanical stop was made by Zeiss, i love them!

I used to mount to the FD lens first, I think it's much easier (but still tricky : needs some practice). I never tried the other way ...

Thank you but I just want to twist off the old plastic lens from the original post then twist on this new one? will that work? Thanks again!

Yup twist clockwise. Note it may be easier to mount the adapter onto the camera first then mount the lens onto the adapter, also you may be able to use the lens in M or manual mode only, so don't forget to switch the camera to M mode first before turning the camera on with the lens already attached. Finally check that you have the latest firmware update available for you camera installed, it can improve the quality of your pictures.

There is a metal tab that clips the adapter to the lens when rotated. It's a bit tricky, but you have to hold the clip up while you rotate the adapter off of the lens. This may be really difficult if it's a snug fit. You may need needle nose pliers to compress the tab far enough.

There is a little threading but when i asked customer support the same question via email they said there wasn't. I don't know what diameter the lens is and i doubt there is a 3rd party filter. However i did do an amazon search and found one that looks like it is mounted to the lens with three screws. But with it being a zoom lens I don't think it would stay on when fully retracted.

when I use my reverse mount ring or make the following settings f8 1/250 my kit 18-55 lens at 55mm, as is a G-type lens, there is a metal pin which placed a small paper pedaso to maintain the aperture fully open. this pin is moved from right to left in the inner edge of lens.I hope I've been helpful.

I have this one and a friend of mine bought the Canon brand one and neither of them have tightening screws. They twist onto the front of the lens and stay on firmly, never had any problems. I prefer this one because not only is it cheaper, but it also is the same size as the end of the lens where as the Canon one is larger and looks very awkward.

The answer to this is yes it does screw onto the front of your lens. I apology for lacking that detail.

No. There is no screw mount on the SX 40. It is a twist and snap mount. This lens shade has the matching twist and snap. Works fine. I am happy with it and it cost a whole lot less than the original canon shade.

You must buy a screw on adapter that will go from the Rokinon screw fitting to the Nikon bayonet mount. You lose all automatic settings so you must do everything manually

Canon uses a bayonet mount for accessories. These are screw on accessories. To make them work I got an adapter from Lensmate. The adapter takes 58mm accessories. So I exchanged the 52mm accessories for 58mm accessories and now they work.

The SX-40 mount is a bayonet mount, not threaded. It is hard to see, but that is the issue. You can screw in a threaded adapter, but it will probably damage the threads, and could come loose unexpectedly, it it will only be jammed in, not held by proper threads.

Screw in... I have several and all of them work well. I am using this particular model on both both the 17mm/f2.8 and 17mm/f1.8 Olympus M43 lenses.
