UV filters for Canon Lenses - tejiraj - 02-17-2014 I have recently bought a Canon 6D camera with 24-105mm f/4 IS USM and 70-300mm f/4-5.16 IS USM lenses. Will 77mm and 58mm UV filters fit these lenses? Thanks in advance. ADMIN- If my post is in a wrong place do let me know know, I will correct it. Thanks.

UV filters for Canon Lenses - tejiraj - 02-17-2014 These are the figures written on the lenses. UV filters for Canon Lenses - Brightcolours - 02-17-2014 Then yeah, filters of that size will fit. If you think of UV filters "protecting" your lens, though, a few points:
UV filters for Canon Lenses - JJ_SO - 02-17-2014 I totally agree with Brightcolours. Just add one point: there are few combinations of lenses and filters, where the filters actually touches the front element and therefore add scratches which wouldn't occur without filter. So, if you still think you need to ”protect” those lenses with a thin sheet of glass, make sure to buy a good one. Which could easily be as expensive as the front element of the lens. http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2013/10/bad-times-with-bad-filters UV filters for Canon Lenses - tejiraj - 02-17-2014 Thanks guys, it was really helpful plus I saved some money.
