What size filter works on this lens?
Asked by: Jeffrey
The Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 Lens (Sony E) does not have front filter threads. It has a rear filter holder. It is compatible with filters like those found at https://bhpho.to/4fqcSwl. They will need to be cut with a scissor for size.

Can you provide some links to compatible filter systems?
Asked by: james
Kolari clip in filters will do the job. They clip in over the sensor so you can interchange any lens with it. I keep a clear filter clipped in just to protect the sensor from dust and scratches. I haven’t ordered the 12-20 yet, but when I do I’ll be ordering Kolari clip in ND filters to go with it.
