Can someone please tell me how to use the adapter ring on the SX 510 HS? I want this to work, but so far am having no success at all.

The adapter ring can be a little tough, I thought that mine was too big also, you just have to play with it and line it up just right, once you get the treads started it's going to fit tight but you just screw it on, once installed, install you polarizer filter and then the end cap for it, I ordered a circular polarizer for mine but did have the same kit as you do, good luck !Michael

the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps..... I had a lil trouble myself until I faced the lens up.... its a problem because the threads are so fine and they want to jump the track and go the next thread down.... which makes it come out weird... the adapter ring just screws onto the threads on the end of your camera lens.... think of it as a flashlight... sometimes they get threaded wrong.... face the camera lens up.... lay the adapter ring on top.... make sure ALL IS EVEN then carefully without much force turn clockwise until tight... don't over tighten and your all set to then your all set to ad your new lens.... in the same manner.... hope this helps.....

I'm so Not happy with my kit, I could only get the lens to screw onto the adapter then you screw the adapter onto your camera there is only like two or three threads . Be very careful don't screw on too far you will jam the lens when a retracts back into the camera .. This can damage your camera permanently mine has gotten stuck three times. The UV lens works pretty good. Just a bad gamble to take in the event you damage are camera

My adapter ring had threads to screw into the end of the lens. You have to be very careful, so to not cross thread it and ruin it while attaching the ring. But mine screwed into place and has been very useful. I keep the UV filter on all the time, so I don't scratch the lens.

the adapter ring has a thin strip of plastic that reveals a glue surface that permanently attaches to your camer. the ring contains a thread into which you screw the filters etc. for my purposes, the filters and lens hood seemed to obstruct the lens at wide angle depts and i was not crazy about the permanent gluing of the adapter ring to the lens, so i removed the equipment and have not used it.

The problem is the ring interferes with the lens barrel when it's fully retracted. Zoom it out, attach the ring, then when it retracts it will not quite go in as far but will still work. I hope this helps you out altho I dont know if there is much of a loss in focal length, decide for yourself.

I ordered this adaptor for my Canon Powershot SX50HS and it fit perfectly. It allowed me to use a cover for my lens as the one I had before broke.

I am using this with the Canon SX280 HS without any issue. It took a couple of tries to thread it but no big deal. I am not sure if there is much of a difference in the SX260 and SX280 ring but I suspect not. Also Canon's website (search "Canon USA metal strap") currently indicates "Flexible and stylish silver strap for ELPH Series, Digital ELPH, and most other compact cameras". However, website also lists compatible cameras but does not list either the SX260 or the SX280 but I suspect that that is more due to lack of information maintenance since it seems to miss listing most recent models. In summary, I cannot imagine any compact camera with a strap loop ring where this would not work.

Yes, the adaptor ring makes the filters fit the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS well.

the adaptor is meant for an SDHC card. If you stick something smaller in there, which it sound's like you have, then I would either try tweezers or taking it apart. Sorry about the luck but they're pretty cheap. Maybe get another and be careful?

Mine is Fuji HS50EXR works better with connect to O Plug Exchange Cable Adapter. I believe your camera is a capable of working without O Plug Exchange Cable Adapter.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

I ma sorry I don't know the answer to your question. You can call B&H photo and video (800.606.6969 / 212.444.6615), they can help you with that and I am sure they carry all adapter rings. Or visit them at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/

Hi, I bought this for my father, as he's the hunter. I know he made an adapter for his gun, but he doesn't usually need instructions for things like this. Have you tried contacting the company? If you're more specific on what you need, maybe I can ask my father for you. Regards, Debby

On a business trip to NY my husband stopped in at B&H; Photo to find a UV filter for the SX20 IS. They tried both 58mm and 52mm in all brands and nothing fit. I found online an adapter from Lensmate (http://lensmateonline.com/newsite/SX10SX1.html). Great discussion on attaching filters. Has anyone purchased this and what's your recommendation.

Yes, mine fit the SX50 but as someone else answered my plastic ring broke after 2 months of light use. Anybody know of a more robust adapter? David

Sorry, I can't be of any help. I only know that it's too small for the Canon SX-50.

That's the rub. The company I purchased mine from advertised several adaptor rings including the only one I needed - the 52. When I received my light the 52 was not in the box. I called the seller and they shipped a 52 out that day. Was it inconvenient - a bit. But for the price and value I'd do it again. It's a handy light to have in your bag.
