Filters and case LX3

[wongcho]

Hi

Newbie and bought a LX3 one week ago. Just join this forum and hope to learn from the experts here.

1. Can I use the UV and Polariser filters at the same time?

2. Is there a lens cap for the filter (I am considering 52mm adaptor with 52mm filter for cost reason).

3. If I want to leave the adaptor and filter on - is there a case for the LX3+adaptor fixed onto it as I would not like to change too frequently.
Wonder if any DSLR case and be used.

Thankyou for your answers/advice.

Yes provided no vignetting after stacking...

You can buy a 52mm Nikon Len cap. few dollars only..

3. If I want to leave the adaptor and filter on - is there a case for the LX3+adaptor fixed onto it as I would not like to change too frequently.

No sure.. as i preferred compact so i only attach my tube with filter when needed.

Thankyou for your answers/advice.

But they never state the brand of the filters, etc. just a general picture. Trustable?

I think for telephoto len shld be ok with the quality, only heard that 3rd party wide angle are quite bad... Only the original can provide sharpness at edges.

does using non-slim cpl filters on LX3 cause vignetting? i am using a pandabase adapter 52mm and intending to get the usual Hoya cpl..

[undergrd]

im using a hoya cpl (non-slim) with no vignetting. FYI,I did not stack the cpl filter on the UV filter...
