| Don't buy cheap filter. Either get a good one or none at all. Anything under $30 is cheap and most likely should not be put in front of the lens. |

However, you mentioned the 18-55 kit lens. Did you buy a Rebel?? If so, then you would need a 58mm filter, like this one. |
That's what I needed! And yes, I upgraded to a Rebel Xsi a few days ago, just haven't changed it yet. Thank you! |

Neither. 18-55 is the focal length range. You're looking for the filter diameter. It may or may not be written on the lens.
You'd probably get a very fast answer if we know which camera and lens we are dealing with. |

Yes, I'm sorry, I mean a UV like this one.
Where would it be written? I'm confused. Would it be 18mm or 55mm? Or neither? |

It should be written on the side of the lens or on the front where the other info is.
But now that I saw what camera you use i'm puzzled by your question. Doesn't that camera have an automatic lens cap?
Are you referring to a UV filter when you say 'a clear lens cap'? |

Greetings,
I have another stupid question, and I couldn't find it anywhere else on the forum, so I'll be the one to ask.
I want to get one of those clear lens covers (I hear Tiffin is good) but there are a lot of different sizes on the site, and I have no idea which one to get. The lens I have now is the kit lens 18-55. So what size should I get?
Thank you all so much! |
