Will Hoya 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Multi Coated Glass Filter fit on my Canon 18-55mm Lens on Canon T1i?
I read several reviews that Hoya is best but I have a doubt (may be a silly question!) but will this filter Hoya 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Multi Coated Glass Filter fit on my Canon T1i 18-55mm lens?
Yes. Your lens has a 58mm diameter thread on the front. However, there is no reason to use a UV filter on that lens. Digital cameras are not sensitive to UV light. I know some people will tell you to use UV filters for protection, but the fact of the matter is that you are using a cheap (as in not expensive to replace) plastic kit lens. Any knock hard enough to damage the UV filter will destroy that lens anyway. And if the knock was not hard enough to damage the filter, then it wouldn't be hard enough to damage the lens in the first place. It makes very little sense to pay over $30 for a lens protector for a lens that you can replace for $90 used!
If you had a $1500 L series lens, then maybe you would want to spend money on a UV filter to protect it. Personally, I have some very expensive lenses and never use a UV filter unless I'm going to be around blowing sand or flying mud. I just use a lens hood and a wrist strap to prevent the camera and lens from being dropped.
