Okie! Thanks! But by using 52mm, will there be any black parts on my shots at full wide angle?

generally, the bigger the better and allows you to stack on more filters without vignetting (dark corners).

Since the original CLA-4 adapter ends in 55mm, just stick to 55mm filters lor.. any reasons why u're considering 52mm?

Hmm ok..seems reasonable that I get 55mm instead.

No lah..i thought that if 52 and 55 not much difference, can save on the lower diameter lenses and filters mah. Is there a big difference?

I bought the 45.6-52mm adaptors without knowing there is one for 55mm. Anyone using this adaptor with the 52mm? Any problem of dark corners? I tried and it seems ok.

Well, actully for my Wangle lens, it have some vnetting problem, but hey u can just zoom abit in wahla, it's just disappear, I can live with that la, no choice can only afford cheap cheap lens, he...he..
I use a step-dwn frm 55~52 it have abit of vignetting problem,
oh also when using bult-in flash there will be a dark shadow frm the lens cos the Wideangle len have a bigger diameter and it block part of the flash, so u need to use a external flash!!!
Money again, also becarful what type of flash u buy as some cant work on the horseshoe or it will so call burn ur camera chips off and bye bye to ur camera, he... he...
PS:Me still seraching for flash for my 750
Cheers
