Thread Sizes and Lens Mounts

OK. So now let's talk about FRED sizes and lens mounts. If you want to get endy filter or polarizing filter, then you need to know what thread size your lens is. However, this isn't the same number as your focal length on your lens, you will see a small circle with a line through it. And this is your lens thread size. For example, this lens here has a focal length of 35 millimeters, but the thread size is 55. So just make sure you're aware of this before purchasing any filters for your camera lens, you also get stepper rings which allows you to put a lot filter onto a smaller lens. You also need to be aware of what type of lens you can use with your camera. Different lens manufacturers may not fit on your camera. For example, a canon lens will not fit on a Sony camera. You can get lens mounts for mirrorless cameras which allow you to use different lenses from different manufacturers on your camera. You can also get third party manufacturers which make lenses for different manufacturers...

such as Sigma, which can be a great option too. Also just be aware that not all lenses from the same manufacturer will work on your camera. For example, just because you have a Canon camera doesn't mean all Canon lenses will work with your camera. For example, you need to see if your camera is a mirrorless or DS LR camera and make sure you get the correct lens for it. You also get different lenses for crop sensor cameras and for full frame cameras. So I recommend doing your research before you get any new lenses to make sure they will work with your camera correctly. Ok. So that's the end of this video. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
