The Nikon 4T (+2.9) would be suitable. Though the thread is smaller than your cam, one would usually be at higher zooms for the magnification, and the vigneting issue will not be there.

You may want to consider the ext slave flash set up.
See here how someone did it:

im not that sure, but isnt the 4T 58 mm? ours is 55 mm right?

No, 4T and 3T are 52mm, 6T and 5T are 62mm thread.

thanks for the infomations tchuanye! hmm any idea how much will the whole aet cost? the ext flash set up and the filter?

I am not so sure abt that as I don't own any of it (I have the 6T and a normal flash). Perhaps the other pana users can advise.
 

i also wish to know. did email cp for inquieries but no reply yet... did went to lucky plaza, funan and sim lim and they all said no stock...haha, sad story for me...
 

i read the FAQ and its about $60 to $70(i think). Not sure yet. Waiting for the replies to come in before i head to buy. John 3:16 is the place im most likely to purchase...

Updated: asked John 3:26 and they said they didn't have stock...had to wait 4 - 6 weeks...
 

:maybe you can try the WTS section..scarly got....
:i bought my 6T there....
 

doubt i see any 6T's for sale :cry: anyone tried m.o'ing 6T's before?
 

6T is a wonderful piece of magnifying glass... much better than hoya +4... Definately...

Can try Lords at Lucky Plaza... they usually have quite a few pieces of 6T...

Try LORDS at Lucky Plaza, they might have it...
 

i remember going to LORDS a week ago. they said they didn't have 6T's but i did see a few 4T's...
