Hi all!
Over the holidays, I started playing with my future-mother-in-law's Rebel T3i... And by New Year's Eve, I was the proud owner of a Canon SL1 kit with 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses. (Yes, I've heard that the 75-300 isn't very good, but the price was great courtesy of Target.)
I also recently picked up a Tiffen 58mm circular polarizing filter, which should fit. But, for some reason, I can't get the filter to screw in. I'm not sure if the filter is defective... I don't see any threads on the filter itself, so it won't screw in to the lens. But, it's the right size, because the lens cap fits onto the filter.
Is it possible that:
1) I got a totally defective Tiffen filter with no threads?
2) I got the wrong size/type of filter?
3) I am a complete dolt and can't figure out how to screw the filter in properly?
Any thoughts? (I'm screwing it in to the right end of the lens, of course, and I think it's going in the right way-- but when I twist the filter it just doesn't catch because it doesn't look like there are any threads on the filter.)
Here's the filter I bought: Amazon.com: Tiffen 58MM Circular Polarizer Glass Filter: Camera & Photo
Many thanks!!
