Lens came fast and was packed well. It fit on my lens good with the adapter ring. The very front piece (somewhat a lens hood) slides back and forth. Is this supposed to do this, or is it a flaw?

It does the same thing on the one that I purchased. I believe it is for a lens hood attachment.

Not sure mine does the same thing, also when I use TTL I see mine has a whit outline might be a flaw from the cheap material.

I have never had that problem. My lens adaptor screws on and off as easily as any of the filters I use. The only guess I can make is that the threads with your adapter were defective in manufacture.

Their is a thread mount ring that fits onto the thread of the lens and the hood twists onto the mount ring. The mount ring stay's in place, while you twist the hood off flip it over and twist it back onto the mount ring. Just reverse the process to flip it back. Hope this been some help.

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I have never used filter lenses so can you explain when I would use these etc. Are they on all the time ???Thanks inadvance for all of your help thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I... » Read More thanks for all the informationJust so I understand I need to know what goes where.So I am guessing that the adapter is either in place all the time or when you want to use the lens hood?Also would be this way adapter/ lens cover for regular timesthen it would be adapter/ lense hood for those other shots when you want to use the lens hoodand guessing you would use the filter lens like this adapter/ filter lensesas far as the lens cap I am guessing the one I have that came with the camera will not work right?Also I have never used filter lenses so can you explain when I would use these etc. Are they on all the time ???Thanks inadvance for all of your help « Show Less

I also had trouble at first. There is a metal tab on the interior of the adapter that you have to push in to get it to "lock." You may need to use a small screwdriver to hold it down while placing it onto the lens. Once it's on you'll know.

Hi, the knob on the side is a lock pin that you use to release the lens from the adapter (just added safety). When you want to remove the lens hold the lens and adapter vertical and push the knob straight down. Easy as that. Does that help?

Funny you should ask, Bryan. I just noticed a slight lifting on the back side of the zoom ring today. I've shot a couple thousand frames so far and I carry my camera in a bag where it rubs up against other gear. The knob on the front of the ring is wearing a hole in the bag divider against which it sits. So I've been a little rough with my camera. IMO the loose ring is probably normal. Unless our cameras are both defective. Everything works as it should.

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.

My lens is very smooth & quiet. We did have an issue with dirt inside the elements of the first lens and had to get a replacement. I suspect their manufacturing is not 100%

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

Dawn, my case had a recess that allowed the ring to be placed as close as possible to the lens. Even at that I had problems with lens flare which washed out about half the image, so I'm not sure it'll behave differently on your case. Hope this helps.Ron

I did not have any problems I use case with adapter ring + filter + the larger lens cover. I have been useing this protective cover for over 30 days now on daily basis still very happy with my purchase.

The outermost lens element of my G-10 is now scratched, all scratches aligned in the same direction. I'm not completely sure, but I suspect dirt or dust got caught between the external lens aperture (the thing that functions like an eyelid when the camera powers-off) and the lens element. I'll be sending it to Canon shortly.

Hi pablocruzz, Front lens is 43mm.Nowhere to place a hood, Lens is great value use it all the time. Doesn't seem to be any noticeable deterioration of quality.

Hi, though the adapter should work fine I would recommend purchasing one of higher quality; I bought this adapter and after about four months of relatively heavy use it started to fall apart. Specifically, the locking mechanism on the lens to adapter side sometimes disengages and the adapter ring has now begun to separate into two parts, the result of which is that the lens can sit at an angle from the camera body if not propped up with a finger. However, if you're looking to save money the latter problem could possibly be remedied by using a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, though I'm not sure as I have not yet tried.

There's a tab that locks down onto the lens preventing you from "unscrewing" the lens out counter-clockwise. If you look at it you should be able to see what I'm talking about. You can use your thumbnail to push that tab up and rotate the lens counter-clockwise to release it from the adapter. Hope that helps.
