it looks good - the tube but i dont really need one now :P the original adapter works fine for me - for now, just dont like the lens hood which uses a thumb screw :P

by the way bro, may i know where can we buy the UV filter that is suitable for the original adaptor? must we get the original panasonic UV filter huh?

[ParkertR]

Just buy any 72mm filter it'll fit. You don't have to get the panasonic one... the one that pana has is the ND filter.

hey bro,
i see i see, actually asked the above question because hv heard many ppl saying that for fz20, we need to buy many original accessories from panasonic itself, cos the thread size is very unique... is it true?

and thx 4 the info, so roughly how much u bought the uv filter last time huh?

[ParkertR]

UV filter... i rem there's another thread where they were talkin about this.. can be anything form $15 - $90 depending on quality

not worth to get it from ebay.

It's possible to step down to 55mm with the tube adaptor, because the tube adaptor is detachable to 2 parts. The 1st part part steps down to 62 mm, you can further use a step down ring to step down to 55 min, say to attach your converter lens. Since the 1st part is short, the lens is very close to whatever you attach to it, thus you won't get any vignetting.

Hi,
Newbie and novice about camera, just bought at recent SITEX a FZ20, would like to tag along if there is an MO for the tube adapter, since US$ is going South it is good idea.

P.S. My first post and just joined today.
