95 mm Lens Filter Thread (M95 × 1.0)
Direct Answer
The 95 mm Filter Thread (M95 × 1.0 mm coarse metric pitch) is the heavy super-telephoto zoom lens standard for wildlife and sports photography (Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sports, Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR) and professional cinema cine zooms.

Specs
| Thread Diameter | 95.0 mm (nominal ø95) |
| Metric Thread Pitch | 1.00 mm (M95 × 1.0 — coarser pitch than 0.75mm on smaller filters) |
| Thread Direction | Standard right-hand |
| Why M95 Uses 1.0 mm Pitch | At 95mm diameter, a fine 0.75mm thread easily cross-threads under the heavy weight of large glass elements; 1.0mm pitch provides rugged cross-thread resistance |
| Target Lenses | Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, Nikon Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports, Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS, Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G Cine |
The 1.0 mm Thread Pitch Exception
While photographic filters from 49mm to 82mm use a fine 0.75 mm thread pitch, large $95\text{ mm}$ and $105\text{ mm}$ super-telephoto filters switch to a coarser 1.0 mm thread pitch. This heavier thread prevents cross-threading when screwing massive, heavy glass protective filters in field conditions.
