Nikon D50 Filter Size ???

I am wondering what size filters the D50 takes......

I am getting some freebie filters and it would be great if they would work
on the Nikon that im after.

I hope you aren't trolling ...

The camera doesn't take filters at all. The lenses do and it depends upon the
lens you have on the camera. I believe the 18-55 lens taks a 58mm lens, but
you should verify.

Any filter will work, the D50 is what's called an "omnifilter capable" camera
by the pros. Canon does not have this important feature.

Thanks JTS...

will look into this.....

Ah, that's why Pro's shun them.

If I forget what size filters my lenses take I usually just look on the
back of the lens cap. Otherwise it is written on the lens by the filter
threads.

Sorry for being too literal here, but that's a joke, right?

Usually the filter size is indicated on the back of the lens cap.

The D50 18-55 kit lens is 52 mm which is the most common size. Anything
bigger is OK as you can get a ste-up ring, don't skimp on those or they
jam. The only filters that are really useful though are a good quality
polarizer and neutral density or graduated neutral density. Color
filters are almost useless with digital, especially with auto white
balance, the camera will just correct back to normal!
