Hi guys.
I have a question.. How does one goes about adding on additional lens in cameras such as A70? ermmm coz lenses usually has 2 sides of glass. so wun mounting a lens cos the camera's inbuilt lens which moves automatically to knock on the glass??
or issit that lens for such cameras only got one side of glass?? hmmm..

You'll need a lens adaptor for A70. Don't worry, the adaptor is long enough to leave some space between the camera len and the external len/filter.
