I just bought a new lens. The Canon 6.5x12..
I want to put a UV filter on it to protect the lens and have 2 main
questions.
Does the filter go on the 82mm thread directly on the lens or is it
better to put it on the
105mm thread on the lens hood? Which is best or doesn't it make any
difference?
Also, I tried screwing in a filter on the 82mm lens and it really
doesn't screw in nicely, It's as if it needs some lubrication. It
-does- screws in but squeeks as it does so and you can really hear the
metal rubbing together, then I'm too scared to tighten it a bit more,
is this normal? What could be wrong here? I tried it with a hoya filter
that has an 82mm thread and now I'm thinking that maybe the tiny space
between the threads are different?
I mean we're not talking nuts and bolts here that have different guages
right? A filter is a filter and if the lens is 82mm and the filter is
82mm it should work right? Or am I wrong?
Could there be different guages of 82mm threaded filters or are they
all the same thing?
Any help appreciated.
