8.9-71.2mm 1:2.8-4.2

Thats just telling you the zoom factors, the size you should get should be a number next to a little circle with a line through it.

dude common, It says the converters you have to buy here...
Fisheye Converter FC-E9, Wideangle Converter WC-E80, Telephoto Converter TC-E15ED, Step-Down Ring Lens Adapter UR-E12, Lens Hood HR-E5700, Lens Hood HN-CP11, AC Adapter EH-53, Car Battery Charger (12V DC in) MH-53C, Remote Cord MC-EU1, Soft Case CS-CP11, Various size CompactFlash™ cards

Those are the model numbers of all the converters, wouldn't recommend buying off brand

Jeepers. Look here.

And then look at the 9th result.

Also, it's a forum. Not a chat room. It will take more than ten minutes for people to respond.

Thanks. Jeepers is a funny word and can you send an exact link because theres a few ways that the 9th entry can be interputed( because there are store ads in the middle that may change ) thanks

you should probably be less helpless and do some research you probably could have googled your camera and "filter size"

 

[shortpballer]

or you could go to a camera store and ask them what size and try some on...

I've been searching for hours, but considering this is my first camera and I'm 14 and don't understand any of it, it is like another language, which is why I asked here
