Re: Powershot Lens Filters

Welcome to the Forums...!!

The camera has no filter threads on the lens assembly because the camera is not designed to accept the addition of any weight at all to the lens.

The lens zoom/focus gear assembly is quite fragile as regards the load it can bear in operation, which does not include the extra loading of a filter adapter and/or filter.

To burden the lens with the additional weight of accessories is to greatly increase the likelihood of lens gearmotor failure.
