Question 1

Whats the diference between 007M vs 010M? i am just using this filter to protect the Otus 85mm, provided it fits.

Accepted Answer

The UV (010) filter blocks intrusive UV radiation which can cause a lack of sharpness. Contrast is heightened, and unpleasant fog is avoided.This filter is available single-coated (SC), multi-coated (MRC), and multi-coated (MRC) nano.The Clear (007M) filter fulfills the desire of many photographers for pure lens protection without a filter effect. Its only function is to keep dirt, sand, or splashes, away from the front lens element. The clear, optical quality Schott glass has high transmission properties.Both of the above filters can be used with color-reversal (slides), black and white, color negative films, and digital formats, though color shift is not so much a concern in digital, as it is with film. The chip is not sensitive to UV radiation as compared to film, and auto-white balance corrects for unwanted color shift.This filter is available multi-coated (MRC), and multi-coated (MRC) nano. Personally I have never scratched a quality camera lens in any noticeable way through everyday use and under certain lighting conditions filters can and do produce flaring.

Question 2

Why 007M is more expensive than 010M? Both are nano MRC, 007M is "clear"only while 010M comes with "UV". 010M should be better than 007M.

Accepted Answer

The UV filter is needed with film cameras. CMOS cameras ignore UV light, therefore the 007M is better for electronic sensors.

Question 3

does the lens cap fit with filter on?

Accepted Answer

I have the canon 28-70mm is ii and yes the lens cap fits great! I know I read some complaints about it with the first version of the 28-70 but not the second!

Question 4

Is it adapted for the camera standard powershot g3x

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, but your powershot can not mount filters like this.  There is no threading to mount them.  There is a adapter though, Filter Adapter FA-DC67B from Canon.  I can't speak to how good it works, but I wouldn't bother with a UV filter for your camera.  It already filters UV, and the lens is recessed anyway so it is fairly well protected.  Polarizing filters might be a worthwhile investment, and ND filters.
