a 37mm adapter will not block the flash
so is it a good idea to get the 37mm if say one is getting a uv filter? i understand the choices are limited

There is 52mm thread, I have just accompany a frenz to get 1 from AP on 03 Aug. Initally, they gave a 37mm thread but with 52mm filter, then I request for 52mm, if not we will not get. The sales guy, Sam (I think), ask his frenz around and managed to get the 52mm thread,

I am not sure whether AP will allow you to change, you need to check with AP on that. My Frenz and I change on the spot when we discovered the wrong size.

thanks for the great help, just called AP, 52mm thread outta stock, i asked if i could change they asked me to bring down the receipt and change, the 52mm one costs 28 bucks, compared to 25 bucks (37mm) plus 9 bucks (step up ring) itx rather cheap.

The guy in AP told me OME one doesn't not come with 52mm one... must get the step up ring and due to my ignorance, I got the adapter and the step up ring for a total of $34 now then I know the OEM comes with 52mm.
