I think he meant MF as manual focus.
Seems that you're just starting out on photograpphy. In that case, just get the FZ20. It has all the generic features needed for a beginner. Then spend more time on learning the basic aspects of photography before venturing into the more intermediate level.

If you know the price of the original WCON, you sure to faint. My suggestion is you stick with what the FZ20 can do for you first before getting other accessories.
Basically to start, other than camera, get extra battery, bigger or extra SD card. extra flash, bag, UV and Cir PL. The rest you can take your time to try and find out what you are really into.

The widest you can go with a WCON on a FZ10 (or FZ20) will be 28mm (Pana) or 24mm (others).
If you are interested more in wide angle shots, get a film SLR (not DSLR) with a WA lens e.g. 17-35 which at 2H will cost less than the Panasonic WA converter. I did that and now I am using my SLR more, reserving my FZ10 for long range shots only. I keep the teleconverter attached to the FZ almost all the time because the FZ converters take a long time to attach/detach.
The advantage of a SLR when you want to upgrade to a DSLR that can use the same lenses, you already have a back-up body and automatically extended your reach by the crop factor (e.g. 300mm could become 450 mm with a crop factor of 1.5 and that is before adding any teleconverter) whilst being able to retain the widest angle with your film SLR. The Best of Both Worlds

I am thinking of using the Phayee adapter as an extension tube.
I wonder if I can attach a Phayee adapter on my FZ10 and then my LTZ10 on the Phayee adapter. If the original Pana adapter can go on the Phayee adapter, this would be possible and all I need do is extend my tripod mounting bracket by the length of the Phayee adapter.
Can you advise?

What thread size is your LTZ10?
The phayee adapter has two thread size. 62mm and 72mm.
LifeWorld said:
Same size as the "dress ring".
It goes on the FZ10 in place of the original adapter.
Tks in advance.
JimDavis said:Malaysia? Boleh lar...just need to charge the shipment cost lor.
In fact, I am thinking of bringing the Phayee items to Malaysia and sell too...
