Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this fit a 35mm lense?JOHNNY L : it will fit any lens as long as it has a 52 mm filter threadROBERT K : The 52 mm designation simply refers to the diameter of the filter. It will screw directly onto the lens of any camera having that diameter, i.e. a 35 mm SLR or DSLR, Micro four-thirds digital, some point-and-shoot cameras, etc. For the lens of your 35 mm camera, you can probably find an FLW filter that exactly matches the diameter of your lens. If not, you will need to purchase a "step-up" ring which mounts between the lens and the filter. For instance, if the diameter of your lens is 42 mm, and your filter has a diameter of 52 mm, you will need a 42 to 52 mm step-up ring. The 42-mm side of the ring screws onto your lens, and the filter screws onto the 52 mm side of the ring. Hope this helps.MANUEL C : This 52 mm Hoya filter will fit on any camera lens that will accept filters of this size. In other words, it will fit the Nikon kit lens AF-S DX Nikkor 18 - 55 mm f/3.5 - 5.6G VR (it takes 52 mm screw on filters like this) but not the AF-S Nikkor 18 - 35 mm f/3.5 - 4.5G ED (it takes 77 mm screw on filters). Usually the filter size is listed on the lens itself. That filter size has nothing to do with the focal length (18 - 55 mm or 70 - 300 mm or whatever) of the lens. Hope this helps!JEROME K : The question is asking about fitting 35mm lens. If this is the size of the lens, the answer is, only with a step down ring. If the question is about fitting a lens for a 35mm camera, we would have to know the lens size for the camera. Either way, it's a handy filter for sunsets.ROBERT A : You will have to look at your lens to find out what the diameter of lens ring is. It will say in small print in mm. You should be able to purchase the filter for whatever size you need.BILL F : The filter should fit any lens with a 52mm diameter that accepts screw-on filters.JIM S : It depends on the version of 35mm lens you have. For Nikon, if you have a 1.8DX or an f2 lens, the answer is yes. If you have the 1.8G FX, the answer is no, that lens uses a 58mm filter. And the 1.4G uses a 67mm filter. I'm sorry, I don't know the answer for other lens manufacturersJOSEPH D : I have a Nikon 35mm lens and it does accept a Hoya 52mm filter.MICHAEL M : Only if the threaded end of your 35mm lens is 52mm in circumference. Watch this 1 minute video, it will clarify your answer. http://youtu.be/fFXi739dEZoKEVIN O : Yes, if you use "step Down rings" to take the 52mm filter down to 35mm. Or you may be able to hold the filter in place with your hand.MARLIN S : It depends on what the diameter of your lens is. If your 35mm lens takes 52mm filters, it will fit. You need to look on the front or side of the lens to see how many "mm" the lens is.KIRK P : It will fit on any camera or other filter that is sized for 52mm. The threads on camera lenses, if they have them (and most do) are standardized so all you need to worry about is the numeric size (52mm).
Shopper : What canon rebel lens will this fit?TROY L : Im sure it will fit any lens with a 52mm size.MARLIN S : It fits the 50mm 1.8 and the 40mm 2.8.KENNETH M : Unfortunately I don't use Cannon Rebel lenses so I can't answer your question. Sorry for that!MEL L : Sorry can't help since I have a Nikon 5100BRIT C : Canon 50 mm f 1.8
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?TERRY B : Photo classPETER G : Fits the majority of my lensesWILLIAM H : I've been wanting to get this for my 18-55mm and 35mm lenses for landscape scenes

Buy this Hoya brand!

This is the filter I should have purchased to begin with. I tried to save money by a new, Old Stock FLW filter on eBay. It had a much lighter tint and indeed taking photos it did not provide much effect. I purchased this and immediately noticed the difference when I took it out of the boxb and the photos taken with it are exactly how an FLW filter should render an image.

Not Used Yet!

When I purchased this filter, it was my intention to use it in a creative ways for sunsets. I have yet to use it, but as usual Tiffen makes a first-class filter and I am sure it will serve my purpose well when I travel up east this fall.

Adds punch to sunsets.

Just shot the sky line of Manhattan from the Brooklyn side. I used the FLW and had great results. I let a friend borrow it to shoot the same scene. Next day she purchased the filter.

Great Filter

Professional photographer Bryan Peterson uses this filter to take sunset photos. He recommended the lens as part of his on-line photography class. I bought it from Adorama. . .used it. . .and have taken some really nice sunset pictures. I would recommend it to those who would want to kick their sunsets up a notch.

If you want to know the truth, I tried it last week during a sunset at the fair and I was very disappointed

If you want to know the truth, I tried it last week during a sunset at the fair and I was very disappointed - I do much much better without it - I was taking the word of Bryan Peterson - He says don't leave without it - Wrong ! I guess I'll have to play with it a little more ....

FLW magic

I've saw Brian Peterson use and promote this wonderful filter and so, I decided to give it a try. I was so impressed!!! Definitely worth the way (it was out of stock in my lens size). I would recommend it to anyone who wants their night time images to come alive. Magic!

warm up your shots

Watched Peterson video on ADORAMA and he used this filter for sunset shots. He is right. This is a great filter for warming those maybe shots. Works better than using PP to make changes in color. I find no distortion when using it.

BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS

I went to Freeport, LI to take some pictures and was totally blown away. I ended up staying for sunset and consider the scenic views I shot the best ever in my portfolio. The only problem I had was the long wait I had getting it from the time I ordered it. If you're into nature photography get this one.

This nice magenta filter enhances the nice sunrises and sunsets in my photographs. I use this filter on my kit lens from my Nikon D600 and have been getting stunning results. This is great if you want to add a light hue to your pictures. I am very happy with it.

Extra Punch for sunset/sunrise photos

Adds extra splash of color for sunset photos, would not recommend for all shots but if the light is right adds a nice touch of class to photos. Using the FLW you do not need to compensate for the filter as the filter will darken the scene just enough for the right scene brightness. Remember for great sunset photos try under exposing the scene to bring out the colors.

great for sunrise and sunset, i did shoot some cityscape, landscape with this filter using my 70-200 @ 200mm, the colors are terrific (orange is more red then blue is more violet.)im doing the similar thing in post process but using the filter is still a lot better and more pleasing and natural. I copied the technique from bryan peterson should I say but why should I re invent the wheel?. Filters are still indispensable. try for your self and see the result. too bad this filter is nowhere to ...

Just a great filter for those special shots

Become a master of capturing true-to-life colors with the 52mm FLW Fluorescent Multi Coated Glass Filter, designed to combat the color distortions caused by fluorescent lighting. When photographing in environments lit by "daylight" fluorescent bulbs, images can often develop an unwanted purplish hue. This high-quality filter from Hoya addresses that issue head-on, ensuring your photos retain their natural color balance.

Crafted with precision, the filter features a multi-layer coating that significantly reduces lens flare and ghosting, resulting in clearer and sharper images. The FLW filter is specifically engineered to correct the greenish tone produced by "warm white" fluorescent lights, which can be particularly challenging in industrial or commercial photography settings.

This essential accessory is a must-have for photographers who demand color accuracy and clarity in their work. The 52mm FLW Fluorescent Multi Coated Glass Filter is compatible with a wide range of lenses, making it a versatile tool for both amateur and professional photographers. Its robust construction ensures durability, while the multi-coating provides an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Whether you're capturing portraits, landscapes, or architectural details, the 52mm FLW Fluorescent Multi Coated Glass Filter will help you achieve true-to-life colors in all your photographic endeavors. With this filter in your kit, you can say goodbye to color shifts and embrace the world of vibrant, accurate hues in your photography.
