    Lens to Filter Size Chart

    I was doing some research on filters and came across this lens to filter size chart on the Tiffen Website. It gives the filter sizes for most of today's popular lenses (I noticed that Tokina lenses are missing) in one chart.

    http://tiffen.com/tiffen-filters/lenstofilterchart/

    It's easy enough to find the filter size when you have the lens in front of you and you can determine filter sizes of lenses by looking through manufacturer's brochures or websites or on vendor's websites (B&H and Adorama list the filter sizes for the lenses that they carry). But, I haven't seen a chart like this with all the filter sizes in one place. I thought that it might be handy to share...

    Thanks Richard,

    I don't think I had seen that before.

    Perhaps they are working alphabetically and just haven't got to Tokina yet?
    Albeit that may be an overly 'glass half full' thought!

    …except it isn't that comprehensive for some of the hi end Nikon lenses, or perhaps if you can afford them, then you might not want to put a piece of Tiffen glass in front of them.

    Unfortunately from some of the test results I have seen, mean I wouldn't even consider using a Tiffen on any lens.

    Tiffin offer a range of filters and they make some stuff aimed at the amateur market and others at a higher end user. In my experience they make some decent mid-range stuff and my only real complaint is their exclusive use of aluminum in their filter mounts across the whole product line.

    This just happens to be a cart published by Tiffen referencing filter sizes. It doesn't necessarily relate only to Tiffen filters.

    Tiffen, at one time, was a very respected name in the filter world.
