You may have just learned about lens filters and you’ve asked yourself how do I know what size filter for my lens? Well you’re in the right place if you need to know the filter size of a Canon lens. No matter if it’s a ND, UV, or polarizer here are all of Canon’s lenses with their filter size in one nifty chart.
Filters can be screwed on the front of most Canon lenses allowing you to add neutral density, ultraviolet or polarizer effects to your photos. Knowing the filter size is also useful for lens caps, lens hoods, and most lens accessories.
Since there are so many types of lenses and filters it can get complicated to know which to buy. Below I have broken down filter sizes and link to buy different types of filters for each lens. This makes it easy to get the right filter for your lens.
The list includes Canon RF and EF mount lenses, so no matter what lens you have it should be on this list. Additionally you can look up which lens you need a filter size for by using the search box on the top right of the table.

I hope my massive lens filter size chart for Canon lenses has been helpful. No matter is you have a Canon DSLR or Canon Mirrorless all Canon lenses should be here. Additionally if you look at the front of most lenses you’ll see the lens filter size next to the symbol Ø, for example Ø77mm.
Don’t know what a lens filter is? Here is a little bit more information about each type of filter.
- ND Filter: Think of ND filters like sunglasses for your camera. This reduces the amount of light that goes to your camera so you can shoot longer exposures or lower f-stops. A 10-stop ND filter is one of my favorites, these are extremely dark and let you capture cloud streaks in the daylight.
- Polarizing Filter: A polarizing filter allows you to reduce glare in your photos. For example the light reflecting off of bodies of water or leaves.
- UV Filter: Many people use UV filters just to protect their camera lenses but UV lenses block UV light reducing blue haze in photos.
And remember if you buy an oversized filter you can always get a stepper ring to move the size down. So for example a stepper ring can make a 82mm filter fit on a 77mm thread. Just note that this may cause vignetting depending on the focal length of your lens.
This updated Canon lens filter size chart for 2024 provides photographers with a comprehensive and reliable reference for selecting the right filter size for their Canon lenses. By having this information, photographers can save time and effort in finding the correct camera lens filter size, allowing them to focus more on capturing stunning images.
This is a constantly updated list, if there is a Canon lens filter size missing let me know in the comments below!

thanks for the list.
RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM has provisions for rear gel filter if you want to note that as well.
You have info for 200-400? I didn’t see it
Missing: EF M 28mm f3.5 Macro IS STM lens is not on your list.
Nice list, I use it all the time.
It would be nice if you had listed the hood nomenclatures for each lens. That info is real hard to find.
Sincerely,
Ted
My apologies for the second one. I thought the comment did not go through.
The Canon EF M 28mm f3.5 Macro IS STM lens is not on your list.
Nice list, I use it all the time.
It would be nice if you had listed the hood nomenclatures for each lens. That info is real hard to find.

I have a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM AF Zoom Lens and I need to buy a solar filter- but I don’t know what size can you help me-
Looks like the filter size is 72mm! Good luck with the eclipse!
I keep coming back to this page time and time again. This site is invaluable. Every lens I have has been found on this list. I just saw your stepper ring link to B&H! Just what I need now. I understand, buy filters for your largest lense and get the stepper rings for the smaller lenses is that a good idea? I started out with 58mm largest then I got a 67mm lens, oops. So this comment is really to thank you, so thank you.
Hey Ted, happy you like the post! So if you have a 67mm filter you can use a stepper ring to convert it down to 58mm. I actually only buy 82mm filters so they fit my 82mm lens and also work on my 77mm lens. Just keep in mind that if the lens is really wide you technically could end up seeing the ring around the edges in the image since the filter is basically stacked on the top.
