Hi,
Like to share a DIY Cokin Filter holder to fit the Lumix 7-14mm WA lens which I believe is not
available in the market. All parts required are listed below.
1. Plastic ring to fit lens hood (from "SKIPPY" peanut jam bottle cap). Cut off the blind end.
2. 2mm thick X 4mm width foam rubber strip. Cost about S$2.00.
(Cut from foam rubber sheet available from hardware shop).
3. Cokin 'P' holder (made in China) S$3.00 (ebay) S$10.00 (local shops)
4. 77mm Adaptor Ring to fit Cokin 'P' holder (made in China) S$3.00 (ebay) S$10.00 (local shops).
5. Bosch super glue S$3.50.
Here's how its done:
Cut the blind end of the plastic cap with a sharp handywork knife, to form a plastic ring. Trim internal
edges of the cut line. Grind or trim off cap internal screw thread ridges. Glue rubber foam strip to
both internal edges of plastic cap to form two internal rings. Glue 77mm Cokin adaptor ring to
external edge of plastic cap.
The finished unit is shown below attached to the Lumix lens.
Hope the above is useful to Lumix users.
Cheers.
