Filters for Sony DSC H1?
I have the Sony DSC H1 and would like to get a UV filter or
some other filter for the sole purpose of being able to walk around with the camera ready to shoot - but keep the lens protected. Does anyone know what mm filter is needed? Ebay seems to have filters with adapters rather than just a filter and I don't understand that so I'm confused. TIA Louise |

Filters for Sony DSC H1?
The H1, H2 & H5 uses a 58 mm filter; also note that it
is attached to the "adaptor" that came with the camera & not to the lens itself. Another purpose of "adaptors" is using filters that don't fit onto your camera. I understand that many owners leave the Sony "adaptor" on the camera as the tube also protect the lens somewhat & that the "sun shade" will always be available when needed. Just don't opt for a "cheapie" as the filter lens may get you more bad pictures; stop at your local library & checkout the photographic magazines for type, pricing & quality(?).

Yes. Believe that's what the filter & other items
will be attached. Take a look at the manual where you saw how the pic of attaching the lens cap; should be around page 20-21.

When you are talking about an adapter that came with the camera - are you talking about a tube which is about 1" long and about 1 1/2" in diameter? Thanks again.

oops; the pages were for my H2, maybe around the
same area for your H1. On 2006-08-28, louise wrote: I got this camera from someone else and all the parts are not there.
