52mm thread is the size of the filter or lens hood (sun shade) that screws into the front of the lens. 52 mm was a fairly common size, on Nikons especially, but nowadays, with large diameter zoom lenses, the filter sizes tend to be 67mm or bigger.


What is a digital camera lens adapter?

It is a lens that mounts on the end of your camera lens. Some are wide angle adaptors (0.75x is an example) and some are multipliers (1.5x or 2x) which move you half the distance to the subject you are shooting. They can be handy adaptors, but can also reduce critical focus in your pictures, or degrade sharp focus. There are also lens adaptors for digital SLR cameras to use lenses from another type of camera. A lens adaptor could also screw onto the end of a lens to allow filters of another size to be mounted in front of the lens. ---- Just an added note: Although the principle is the same, not all adapters mount on the end of the camera lens. Some adapters mount to threads on the body which may be hidden by a removable ring. So the camera may not always appear to have threads when it does, if you know where to look. Check the manual.

What does 55mm camera mean?

The question likely pertains to 55mm as a lens focal length, and does not relate to any type of camera. Another use for numbers like 55mm in connection with a lens is to designate the thread size of the filters and lens caps that lenses require. For the interchangeable lenses used on 35mm SLR cameras, those sizes commonly run from 49mm to 72mm. Cameras are designated by film size or by type. Some common camera designations are 35mm; SLR; rangefinder; digital; point-and-shoot; medium format; view camera; press camera (various types); TLR twin lens reflex) -- there are others. If there is a "55mm"camera, I haven't encountered it.


Why does the lens flip and decrease the size of the picture in a camera?

The lens is convex (curved outward). Light entering the lens from the outside is refracted (bent) as it travels through it. This brings the image to a single (focal) point. The distance between the lens and the back of the camera is such that it allows a small image of the photographed scene to be visible (the picture). The image is inverted because of the refraction of light through the lens.
