Here are the lens diameters and corresponding filter sizes for common Nikon (NIKKOR) lenses, including their FX (full-frame), DX (APS-C cropped sensor), and Z Mirrorless series lenses.
Note that my focus here is on lenses that take screw-in filters on the front. Some lenses, such as very wide-angle or fisheye lenses, don’t have a filter thread on the front and can’t accept this style of filter. Some, like the 16mm Æ’/2.8 fisheye, take a dedicated rear filter. Some very long telephoto lenses also use a system of drop-in filters at the rear of the lens.
Some focal lengths have multiple lenses, so it’s important to match the other parts of the name. For example, Nikon has multiple versions of the 18-55mm lenses, and the AF-P and AF-S versions are not the same thing and take filters of different sizes. Ditto with, say, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm Æ’/1.4G and AF NIKKOR 50mm Æ’/1.4D—the model names might be very similar, but they’re different lenses and take filters of different sizes.
This is an ongoing list and clearly doesn’t cover every lens Nikon has ever made–there are a lot of them. I’m starting with their current range and adding older lenses to it as the opportunity arises. Please feel free to send through any additions, requests, or corrections. 1
If you don’t see your lens listed here and want to find out the filter size, it’s often marked on the lens itself. For a more detailed guide, see my post on finding the lens diameter.

Z-mount – Zoom Lenses
These are the filter sizes for lenses for Nikon’s Z mirrorless camera system. These use the Z-mount system.
Note that there can be lenses designed for full-frame sensor bodies as well as DX lenses for mirrorless cameras that have a cropped DX-sized sensor. Nikon’s naming convention for these is that the FX lenses don’t have any special notation, while DX-only lenses have “DX” in the lens name.

Things Worth Knowing
Dedicated Lens Hoods vs Generic Lens Hoods
Many Nikon lenses come with a dedicated lens hood included. If you need a replacement or a spare, in most cases, Nikon makes it available as an accessory that you can buy separately.
The official lens hoods tend to have a large markup, ending up much more expensive than they should be for what they are. In some rare cases, it can get out of hand with lens hoods costing hundreds or even over a thousand dollars (yes, really).
The good news, though, is that you can often find aftermarket alternatives that are significantly less expensive. They often work just as well. They’re usually listed under the same model number as the original.
And in some cases, a generic non-dedicated lens hood might also work, but that usually requires some trial and error to check for lens vignetting and effectiveness on that specific lens.
What are Drop-in Filters?
Rather than have a filter thread on the end of the lens to attach a screw-on filter, some lenses have a special built-in mount in the rear of the lens (between the lens elements and the camera) that accepts mounted glass filters or gels. They’re most commonly found on extreme wide-angle lenses, such as fisheyes, or extremely long telephoto lenses.
A somewhat related method of attaching a filter is to use a filter mounting system such as by Lee or Cokin. These include their own mount into which you can drop plate or mounted filters. But because they’re not generally constrained by the same kind of lens compatibility issues, they’re beyond the scope of these compatibility charts.
What Are Series Size Filters?
For a handful of the older manual focus lenses above, you’ll see mention of series filters. The terms “series filters” or “series size” refer to a system used in the past (mainly during the 1940s to 1970s) to standardize filter sizes for camera lenses. Unlike today’s modern lenses, which commonly use threaded filters that screw directly onto the lens’s front element, many older lenses use a slip-on filter system.
This slip-on system consisted of a metal ring that slipped onto the front of the lens and held the filter in place. The series sizes described the diameter of this ring and the corresponding filter. The sizes were typically identified by a number, e.g., Series 6 or Series 9. And rather than be sized to a specific mm size, they applied for ranges, with what amounted to a step-down ring for cross-size versatility.
I have a more detailed explanation of series-size filters separately.
Nikon Lens Hood Codes
In addition to the myriad codes used in naming and describing the features of the lenses, there are also some codes that apply specifically in the naming of lens hoods. As you might notice in the tables above, there are versions starting with things like HK and HN.
Here’s what they mean.
- HB = Bayonet type lens hood.
- HE = Extension lens hood.
- HK = Slip-on lens hood.
- HN = Screw-in metal lens hood.
- HR = Screw-in rubber lens hood.
- HS = Snap-on lens hood.
Confusingly, though, Nikon doesn’t reserve these exclusively for lens hoods. For instance, model HN-14 is a metal lens hood for the 20mm Æ’/4 lens. But model HN-13 is a 72mm polarizing filter.
Nikon Lens Codes
Like most lens manufacturers, Nikon includes codes in the names of their lenses to help identify key features of their lenses. Over their history, there have been many, and I’ve posted a more comprehensive explanation of Nikon lens codes separately. But here are some of the more recent ones that you’re likely to come across when shopping for lenses.
- DX = Nikon’s designation for their cropped APS-C sensor cameras and lenses.
- FX = Nikon’s designation for their full-frame digital cameras and lenses.
- D = A D-type lens, which conveys the distance from the focal plane to the subject back to the camera to support various kinds of 3D exposure metering and i-TTL fill flash. Many, but not all, D-type lenses have a manual aperture ring.
- E = An E-type lens, which uses an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism for aperture blade control. This is designed to improve the accuracy of exposures with continuous shooting, especially at high frame rates. This is a distinction from their more common G and D-type lenses, where the diaphragm blades are operated mechanically. Limited compatibility–older DSLRs and SLRs aren’t compatible with it.
- G = A G-type lens. This is an update to the D-type lenses and incorporates the same kind of distance information. But a defining feature is that they don’t have an aperture ring, with the aperture controlled through the camera’s dials and menu.
- FL = Some lens elements are made of fluorite rather than the more typical glass. This reduces weight while maintaining optical quality.
- ED = Extra-Low Dispersion Glass, a specialized type of lens glass designed to reduce chromatic aberration.
- AF-S = One of several Nikon codes referring to the type of Auto Focus. AF-S signals compatibility with Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocusing system.
- AF-D = Lens CPU relays distance information to the camera.
- AF-I = Lens with internal autofocus motor.
- AF-P = Lenses where particular settings are controlled from the camera’s menu and controls rather than switches on the lens itself (eg. AF/MF or vibration reduction). Limited compatibility–mainly for newer cameras (or, in some cases, updated firmware).
- VR = Vibration Reduction. This refers to in-lens vibration reduction. You might also come across VR II, which is an updated and improved version.
- Micro = Nikon’s terminology for macro.

- In compiling this data, I’m drawing from a range of sources. For the newest lenses, I’m using Nikon’s official website. For older lenses, I’m primarily using: The New Nikon Compendium: Cameras, Lenses & Accessories Since 1917 (by Simon Stafford, Rudi Hillebrand, and Jans-Joachim Hauschild), Nikon Lenses (2nd ed, by B. Moose Peterson), and Eyes of Nikon: A Comprehensive Guide to Nikkor and Nikon Series E Lenses. Some lenses have required further research, in which case I’ve drawn on other sources as well.[↩]
