Nikon Lens Filter Size Chart (Updated 2023)

Buying a screw-in lens filter for your Nikon camera? Well here are all of Nikon’s lenses and their filter sizes.

No matter if you’re looking for an ND, UV or polarizer screw-in filters can elevate your photography to new heights. My personal favorite is a 10-stop ND filter which can help you smooth clouds in photos.

Filters can be screwed into the front of most Nikon lenses including Nikon Z (mirrorless), DX (cropped), and FX (full frame) lenses. Some ultra wide Nikon lenses aren’t compatible with screw-in filters if they have glass that goes out in front of the lens frame. Additionally larger lenses have drop-in filters which are inserted at the base of the lens (noted below). Most likely you’ll be using a tradition screw-in filter.

The lens filter size refers to the diameter of your lens filter thread in the front of your lens. This number is important to know when buying screw-in filters.

The list below includes Nikon lenses and their correct filter size plus links to buy a filter of each type. Nikon is constantly adding new lenses so check back for the latest sizes.

February 2023 Update: Added Z 85mm f/1.2 S and Z 26mm f/2.8 to the list.

If a Nikon lens is missing usually you can look at the front of the lens to see its filter diameter. The lens filter size is typically marked with a Ø symbol; for example “Ø82mm”. This would indicate you need 82mm size filter.

Unfamiliar with lens filters? Here is more info about different lens filter types:

• ND Filter: An ND filter darkens your image allowing you to use slower shutter speeds or use a lower aperture during brighter scenes.
• Polarizing Filter: Polarizing filters can help you reduce glare in your photos, especially off of leaves and water.
• UV Filter: A UV filter blocks UV light which reduces blue haze in photos.

If you have a lens filter that’s larger than your lens diameter you can also use a stepper ring. Just keep in mind if you use a stepper ring it can cause vignetting depending on the optics of the lens.

Choosing the right lens filter for your Nikon lens can improve your photography experience and results. Hopefully my Nikon lens filter size chart helped you choose a filter. There are many reasons to get a lens filter, such as minimizing glare, boosting color saturation, and protecting your lens.
