Bought a Raynox Adapter RT5264P while I was in Hong Kong. On it's own, the adapter is 52mm filter size. I am using a step up ring 52-55mm for use with a 55mm filter and at same time retained the use of the original Lumix lens cap.

To what I know, 72mm allows more light. At 52mm, does it reduces light entering it? What about vignetting? Could you test it by shooting with and without adapter, on same scene same lighting?
Yep, I am curious about vignetting issue too.
I have quite a no. of 52mm filters that I have since way back when using Nikon SLR with Nikon lens.
Will be great if I can get this so I can use my 52mm filters and polariser. Lens cap not a problem as I have a couple of 52mm lens cap. 72mm filters are expensive!
Anyone know if this Raynox is available in Singapore and where?
Funtasy, how much did you get it for in HK?

I have been using the Raynox adapter for my FZ10 and FZ20. Vignetting? No way!!! The adapter is designed in such a way that the 52mm opening comes right to the edge of the extended lens and the 52mm adapter opening more than exceeds the lens diameter of the FZ10/20.
A smaller mount diameter also means cheaper lens accessories for the FZ10/20. The Raynox 5264P is a solid and well designed adapter. :thumbsup:
Paid 160 Hong Kong dollars which is approx S$34. Here are 2 pictures taken with adapter and a 52mm filter and without the adapter.

I was also very tempted to get a dslr, but shelving the idea as I feel the FZ20 has many options that I have yet to fully utilise. BTW, very few DSLR fitted with standard lens can come close to the F2.8 wide to telezoom of the FZ10/20. Some of the pics taken by our FZ users (maybe not mine) can speak for themselves. One word to describe the Leica lens - SHARP! :thumbsup:
I am just a novice, but I have been thinking about whether I should invest further on the FZ20 accessories if I plan to upgrade to DSLR in the near term.Zenten said:
I am taking a basic photography class and I have a classmate that is using the D70 and so far what I am seeing and hearing is that it is always better than my FZ20.
So before I spend more money on the FZ20, I have decided to move on to D70 now rather than later and put money into the D70 instead on the FZ20.
You maybe right that the FZ20 could do alot but I think the D70 can do more and I can only trust what my instructor says and also my observation on the results I see between the 2 cameras. I took 2 weeks to observe between them to reach this conclusion, this may not be the most intelligent way to choose but I don't want to further waste time and money and have to make a decision.

These are at full wide? With adapter, It looks ok to me.
However, It's too late to me liao! Coz I just arrived in Sabah.....
Can only buy it next time. :cry:
Owners' of FZ20, Don mind kindly let me know how much does FZ20 cost? I've seen the posting by a few users of FZ20, very impressive :think: I may consider this... ;p

Funtasy or any FZ20 users out there, any chance anyone going to Japan or Hongkong soon? We MUST have a MO for the Raynox adaptor!!
I am serious about it. ;p

Can buy through eBay. There is one here:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43441&item=3860605277&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V.
It will cost about S$44 inclusive of shipping. The seller probably will ship to Singapore as they are shipping to Australia.
I am using a RT5264P too. Not so good to be frank........but VERY VERY GOOD!!!! I do not use the Lumix original lens cap but a normal one that came with Raynox, I bought a package with a Raynox MC lens and a Raynox Polarized filter(the Raynox PLP-P20 package). No vignetting at all and like Zenten says, 52mm lens and filters are much cheaper. Even the Nikon lens 3T & 4T (both 52mm, tell you a secret people..... I've ordered both of them and coming soon!!! :gbounce: ) are cheaper than Nikon 6T & 5T(both 62mm).
