I agree. I really like the R7.
I like the R7 so much I got two of them. One for my RF 100-500L and one for my RF 800 f/11.

I read about Python's swallowing humans in remote villages. I wonder about the truthfulness of those incidents.
I agree. Unless the human was unconscious and the snake wrapped itself around the person and crushed them, I'd think a human would be a bit faster than the snake.
It's kinda like the stories about Bald Eagles making off with some ones child. Even most new born babies are too heavy for an eagle to lift.

Lens caps are really hard to shoot through.
If one is hiking or other activity many shots will be lost when a lens cap is on.

You are sooo correct. Lens caps are very hard to shoot through. But hoods are not. When I'm out hiking or doing other activities, I always have the cap on my pocket and the hood in place on the front of the lens. I've bumped things, scraped things and once even dropped a Tamron SP 70-200, and the hood protected the lens.

Like I originally replied, it may not be worth fixing. I've seen them on Ebay for as little as $50 and average price around $150. It depends on what broke on yours. Canon stopped making that camera about 10 years ago so new parts may be scarce if not impossible to find. The best independent repair shop I've dealt with in recent years is located in Willow Grove PA, about 55 minutes from my home. You are on the other side of the country, so shipping is a major factor. If Canon says parts are no longer available, then the only parts source for the indies is used cameras. My personal opinion is, maybe it's time to retire that SX50 HS and either find another used one or even upgrade to a newer model. I'd offer you mine but it's part of a collection.

The gulp is small compared to what Pythons can pull off!

There are a lot of GBH's around my corner of PA and I've seen them eat some really big fish, but you are right, I've seen pythons on TV swallow things it's hard to believe could fit in their mouth.

I just recently watched a documentary on TV about the Sing Sings in Papua New Guinea. You did an excellent job photographing the performers. Really nice colors.

I started off with 50 spiderlings about 1-1.5mm across. 4 of them have now grown and established their own territory around our garden. I had to move one of them because she built her web right in one of our pathways...Lorraine said it was either the spider or her..LOL
They are Garden Orb Weavers and harmless.

Spiders are soooo creepy, but they can be fun to photograph. Really nice spider photos.

Sure, but he didnt ask for any financial advice. He asked folks to recommend a good filter. Understandably, as a nonuser you dont have a recommendation.
Ive inspected zillions of filters arriving on used lenses. They usually look good at a glance but a really close inspection puts the majority of them into the trash. Its very fortunate that the deterioration was suffered only by the filter and not by the lens behind it.

I own both an EF-S 18-135 and 18-200. The 18-135 was my general purpose lens until I got the 18-200. My daughter used the 18-135 for quite a while. The lens is now in my lens cabinet as I pretty much use only Canon L series EF lenses and RF lenses, except for my RF 800 f/11; it's not an L series lens.
I don't know what you mean by nonuser. I guess you mean nonuser of protective filters. That is my recommendation. A lens cap and hood will do a better job protecting the lens than a protective filter.

You joined in August of 2014 and I joined in October of 2015, like I said, about a year after you. The only time I've ever seen UHH referred to as a ship is in this conversation. 2015 is indeed MID 2010's.
When I saw ZX50 and SX50 I initially thought you were referring to two things. I later realized you were referring to the Canon SX50 HS. As I said, I own an SX50 HS, SX60 HS and SX70 HS.

Well, yes, he DOES want want a filter to protect the lens but, evidently, you are unable to recommend one. Hoods are nice too. They can enhance resale value when you include them with used lenses for sale. Caps are also very useful for keeping your filters clean. As to filters being thin, acoarst thaz intentional. The thinner the better.
I've owned an EF-S 18-135 lens since 2009. It has never had a protective filter on it, and it looks as good as it did in 2009. In fact, I own dozens of Canon, Nikkor, Sigma and Tamron lenses and none of them have protective filters on them. Just caps and a hood. Since he just got an EF-S 18-135, which is basically a beginner's lens, I was simply trying to say he doesn't need a protective filter. A lens cap and hood will protect the lens better than a really thin piece of glass. My recommendation is don't waste money on protective filters.

If you are responding to me, I own an SX50 HS, an SX60 HS and an SX70 HS. You clearly stated ZX50, more than once along with SX50. I've never been aboard a ship named UHH. I joined UHH in 2015, roughly a year after you.

I just received my new lens Canon EF-S 18-135 mm and I need advice for a lens filter for everyday photography.
I'm guessing you are using a digital camera. You don't need a filter for everyday photography. If you want a filter to protect the lens, the lens cap and hood will do a much better job than a really thin piece of glass.
