ar?? I am using the Raynox, and its only 1 piece leh..

the good thing about the raynox is that its really small, and so the camera lens when fully extended when on, full just reach the very edge of the adapter.. so there wont be vignetting or such stuff

The threads are actually 52mm. which is great 4 me! cos had a few from film SLR days...

used a 52-55 step up ring, and walah! Using Tcon17, and Wcon08

I am using a Raynox with a step up ring 52-55mm and using it with a 55mm filter. Here is a pic of my FZ20 with the Raynox.

Bought it when I was in Hong Kong last month.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Wow! 52mm! with a step up ring n a small thread size, i wonder vignetting is a problem...

Only problem is with TCON17, even at full 12x zoom, can see a slight vignetting. But without any conversion lenses, throughtout the entire range, no vignetting. That includes using the WCON07. Hope that helps in your choices.

just curious...why don't just get a 52mm filter then? why do we need to step up? becos the filter only come in 55mm? another question is that in this case, why dun get an adaptor that has 55mm thread in the first place. sorry if my question seem dumb...cos i am quite confuse with all this step up and step down issue.

btw where can find it in hongkong? how much does it cost? thanks!
