Filters must be the right size for each lens. For example the 18-105mm kit lens that comes with most D-90 kits uses a 67mm filter. They thread into the main lens. It is always safer to put a clear or UV filter on your camera lens to protect the expensive lens glass. You can thread another type of lens onto it as easily as you can your base lens. Be sure and do not force a threaded lens filter onto your lens or you will damage the expensive lens. It should thread on easily and do not over tighten it.
The step-up ring will on any lens with a 49mm filter thread, regardless of the manufacturer. The easiest way to find out whether it works with any given lens is to see whether the ring fits onto the front of the lens (you could also read the filter size written on the lens itself). If it doesn't fit, purchase the appropriate step-up ring. That will be much cheaper than buying a whole new set of filters. If the new lens(es) have a 55mm filter thread then you don't need the step-up ring at all. The filters will mount directly onto the lens.
First, make sure that the lens diameter is 62mm. It should say on the front or on the body of the lens. If this is correct, it could be a unique mount that would require a specific brand. If it's quantaray, it might require quantaray filters. If it's an old lens, it might require an attachment to the front of the lens that would act as a filter holder for the square filter tiles.
The 55mm uv filter refers to the diameter - 55mm. This is unrelated to the focal length of your lens 18 - 55mm, which could be any diameter. You need to note the required filter size of your lens and purchase the appropriate size.
The filter doesn't go onto the camera, but onto the lens. Assuming it's the proper size, it should just screw into the threads on the front of the lens (the end away from the camera). If the lens hood is on, remove it first.
The SP-570UZ does not have a filter thread; therefore, lens filters cannot be attached directly to the camera.
Filters with 55mm diameter can be attached to the SP-570UZ via the CLA-10 Lens Tube Adapter, sold separately. However, it is not recommended because vignetting may occur in the corners of the image when the camera is set to wide angle positions.
The CLA-10 Lens Tube Adapter (Item #202104) is available from authorized Olympus dealers and also online from The Olympus Store: http://emporium.olympus.com
I bought a 4 lens kit - I think from Amazon. It was a long time ago. The size is 28mm. yes, here it is http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-28mm-Filter-Set-Coolpix/dp/B0000521B9
Get a CLA-1 lens tube. It screws into the camera body. The other end accepts 43mm accessories. Put on a 43-49mm step-up ring. Into that screw a 49mm UV filter. (The step-up ring is needed to separate the filter from the extended lens.) Leave the UV filter on at all times. Throw away the lens cap.
