D-Lux 3 filter adapters?

[sevendhappy]

Has anyone tried using this Cokin filter adapter for P&S cameras? Just curious.

Or does anyone have any other ideas for adding filters to the D-Lux 3 camera? Thanks for your help.

Actually, I seem to recall finding a machined aluminum adapter from some company in China a while back ... never bought one (around $45 plus shipping) but it looked useful. I'll see if I can find a link for it and post back later...

Yeah, I found that link on google not too long ago. Kind of cool. Just wondering if anyone has tried using a filter adapter with their D-Lux 3 (not just holding a filter in front of the barrel with their hand) and how their experience was with it.

Final bump. Anyone else tried using filters with a D-Lux 3 and can share your experience?

Max is right: this is "Quatsch": you don't need filters for a digital camera. For B&W, for example, you can simulate the efect of filters in setting the conversion from the color file.

BTW, "Quatsch" means "utter nonsense".

Well, I'm not just looking to shoot B&W pictures...obviously that can be taken care of post. I'm really interested in using polarizing lenses and neutral density lenses. Just wondering if anyone has any results they could share if they've used said lenses on a D-Lux 3.

Dear sevendhappy,

I understand you perfectly. I was also looking for a solution to attach Filters on my D-Lux 3.
A friend of mine - who is a photographer - told me that there was some way of modifying the chip for infrared photography, which the reason I was looking for a solution to attach Filters.

I found this link some days ago, but it is for the LUMIX, so I don't know whether it wil work for the Leica too.

Welcome to HKDCPlus.com

In any event I will contact you if I find out more!!!

Cheers!!!

A very informative review of HKDCPLUS LX2 adapter can be found here:

Panasonic LX2 Filter & converter adapter LX2,taking it a day at a time..

and there one of the comments says:

I also received the LX2 adaptor, which of course fits perfectly well on my Dlux3.

The article and comments also have some other links on where to buy.

Of course you meant, except the M8

The Leica discussion forum over on dpreview.com has some links to filter adapters and some sample shots on their use.

I have the unit and tried it on a Fuji f700 P&S. I found the reflections off the back of the filter, unless it was in contact with the front of the lens, caused problems. Putting the filter in contact with the lens also upset the zoom and focus. Give it a miss.
