Hi all,

you can get the cheaper lens adapter from AP (about $18 - $26), which is a 45.6mm to 52mm adapter. then you can also get the UV lens for about $10.00 there too.

The original Olympus lens adapter CLA-4 is a 55mm adapter compare to the non-original 52mm. What is the benefit to have a bigger adapter?

Today went to AP and CP, both have no stock for CLA-4....

Anyway, anyone know the price for ND and polarizing filter?

Thanks.

my wife bought the remote control in Akihabara, Tokyo. paid about $36.00 (2500yen).

AP is selling them. didn't ask them for the price.

This is the only reason? So if given a choice, you would always go for smaller thread size adapter?

Does anyone have advise on the use of the Olympus C730UZ in cold weather? I'm talking about 10 to -7 degrees C.

How should I protect the cam?

duh...try a air tight box ? like the underwater casing ?

[SianZronG]

don't think no air tight box is going to protect it from being forzen... frankly there is no why you can protect it.... from the tempreture.... unless you use a full manual non electrical camera....

Personally tried shooting with a P&S under -8C temperature, haven't encountered any problems. Kept camera in jacket.

i was focusing on water condensation...

[Blankies]

low tempreture even to zero degree...shouldnt be much of a problem unless condensation sets in
