Circular Polarizer Question

kodakan · Apr 13, 2010

Hello, I have a Canont T2i with the Kit lens. I was just wondering if this circular filter will work with my lenses Hoya 58mm Thin Super Multi-Coated Circular Polarizer - eBay (item 200458764312 end time May-06-10 19:12:36 PDT)

It says there is no front female thread but will accept push on lens cap?

58mm sounds the right diametre.
And yes, I can put the lens cap on mine (though mine's not a Hoya). No need for another thread (female thread? I've never heard that expression before...).

Interior thread = Female

Exterior thread = Male

A bolt male, a nut female.

Food for thought on a CP lens. You are looking at spending $50.00 for this CP. Is this the only lens you are ever going to buy? If yes, enjoy the CP you have listed. It is a good quality CP.

If no, then you might want to consider what other lenses you might be purchasing in the future. I only own 1 CP. It is a 72mm CP and it was about 5 times more expensive, but it fits every lens that I own with the exception of my 300mm f2.8 and 400mm f2.8. I have step up rings at a few bucks apiece that allow the one CP to fit on all my other lenses. When I average out the price of that one CP with the number of lenses it fits, It is pretty cheap. Plus I am not carrying around a bunch of different CP filters for different lenses. Just the one and some thin light step up rings. Just a thought on how to keep you from buying the same piece of equipment more than once because you bought a different lens and need a different size CP.
