Anyone saw any 3rd party adaptors that go straight to 52mm...

How the built of the plastic adaptors, last time the FZ5 adaptors all spoilt after a few screws and unscrews... make me think twice before getting the plastic adaptor.

46mm dun seem to be a sweet spot for filters like UV and CP. Hope someone comes up with a metal 52mm adaptor.

Have you tried the Panasonic service centre? Somewhere near Bukit Merah, I've ordered and bought 2 lens hoods from them, no problems with the customer service.

Samuel (John 3:16) quoted me a step up ring for $8, but there's no stock today. Will visit him tmr to find out whether it fits.

Also, he's also selling the Leica Corduroy bag which some bro here posted, just bought it from him

how much did u get it for?

[zan82]

He sold to me at $45, ok la, given that I had a budget of plus minus 50 odd for both a pouch and a step up ring.

is it the one with the red leica circle thing..black pouch? how does it fit?

[zan82]

Yup, perfect nice fit.

Will be heading down to get the step up ring from Samuel probably after work later, and will feedback on whether it still fits after adding it and a filter.

Anyone interested in getting the 3rd party straight to 52mm adapter ? My friend just pass me one and I might be able to bring in some for those who are interested , the one i have is metal build (alum?) so don't have to worry about the filter thread wearing out , shape looks nicer also as i don't really like the original one which make my cam looks weird . Should cost ard $30+ , I will try to get a picture of it attach to my lx3 soon .

Oh ya to add on , the adapter is design specially for LX3 so when u zoom it doesn't hit the filter .

[S11loop]

btw anyone know where got stock on the Leather case ? Trying to find high and low for it but everywhere no stock yet ...

Yes! Yes! I will be interested to get this. 52mm filter much better to manage!

Hi Loop,

Care to share a photo of the 3rd party adapter? Also if you can, can you take a close up photo of the elevation between the LX3 lens and the adapter? Thanks.

[zan82]

Bought the original tube adaptor at $49, I guess that's not the best price.

Bros who are thinking of getting the Leica pouch, do note that after adding the tube, it doesn't fit anymore.
