PhatGuido Posted May 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Noob here but have read everything about the DL4,but could not find any info about the pro's & con's of buying the standard Pani lens adapter & use the 46 mm lens or try another Japanese brand that I have found here in HKG that also sells accessories for the LX3/DL4 & offers a 52 mm converter. Thanks in advance PG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted May 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 20, 2009 Welcome! I have gone for the 52mm version. It comes with a front cap and I have added a rear. I then carry my SBOOI in it, wrapped in a lens cloth, when not in use and both are off the camera. I went for the 52mm for two reasons: 1. It is far easier to get 52mm filters (and I already have some) 2. I have large hands and the extra diameter "feels right". Hope this helps, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrado&rina Posted May 20, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 20, 2009 Dear Bill, could you please post a photograph of your setup? Best, Corrado & Rina Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted May 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 20, 2009 Funnily enough, I have been planning to do so - I have been planning to write a short "user review" both of the adaptor and of the 2.5x tele-extender that I have acquired. Bear with me - I may get a chance over the coming bank holiday weekend. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA road racer Posted May 20, 2009 Share #5 Posted May 20, 2009 For what it's worth, I have a 52MM tube adapter made by Panda. Got it from West coast Camera. Came with a great sunshade that can be used with filters on the tube. Very nicely made for being a Chinese made product with some of the nicest finish I've seen on a camera accessory.

picturelady Posted May 20, 2009 Share #6 Posted May 20, 2009 I got the 46mm lens adapter from lensmate. It looks very nice and then ordered some step up rings from Adorama so that I can fit my current 52mm, 58mm and 77mm filters on it. That sure beat the price of buying all new filters! I am happy with my choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
