Look for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number on the front of your lens or inside the lens cap, such as ø58mm. Buy the filter that matches that number, or use a step-up ring to fit a larger filter onto a smaller lens thread. ### What is the difference between a UV filter, a polarizer, and an ND filter? A UV filter is mainly used to protect the front element and cut haze. A circular polarizer (CPL) reduces reflections and deepens skies. A neutral density (ND) filter lowers the light entering the lens so you can use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. ### Is the Fotodiox 5'x7' Collapsible Soft Diffuser Panel safe for use in India?
