It is a bit difficult to get on securely, but keep fiddling with it. It does work eventually.

It worked, but was a bit tricky to get it in correctly. So far so good for me.

I had the same problem...at first. You have to line it up exactly then keep spinning it until the "grooves" catch...thats how I got it on anyways...also make sure its not upside down as it seems to want to fit that way as well...hope it helps!

Hi Rhonda! I would remove the rubber hood when changing filters as it will be easier to do. You can push the hood back to allow more light and get rid of the tunnel look when taking pics.Tried to respond on a previous note, but it wouldn't send??!! You have a might fine camera, I hope you get much enjoyment from it over time. IF you have questions, please drop a line andI will get back to you quickly. Very Best, Mike

Hi Rhonda....I too found the adapter difficult to mount just due to the close tolerances. However, forcing it is a big no! no!. After gently twisting and making sure the piece was level with the barrel of the SX50,it slipped on and with just a nudge secured itself tightly. Never had a problem since. You just have to be patient, but I guarantee you it does work as it should. Thanks, Mike

Neither one of my distribution companies carry the adapter. Not sure where to tell you to locate it.

Insert a single edge razor blade behind the rear edge of the adaptor. Push it in 1/8" until it hits the lip. Push it backwards to pry the adaptor up. Push it in again, repeat, and the adaptor comes out unscathed!

won't work, not even with the adapter... the other end will only take close to 3/4" and the adapter that comes will it (2 of it) will not work either way

I didn't receive the correct adapter, it was missing from teh package. Now I'm waiting on a response from the seller, they tell me to contact primo. Not much I can do but return the entire item to Amazon and pay more money for shipping/return fees.

Drill the right-size hole (3/4", I think), then notch the top part just slightly. There are flanges the pop out on the sides that hold the adapter in the hole, and the slightly bigger one by the hinge keeps it from rotating once in place. This works perfectly in both vehicles I installed it in.... almost looks like a factory item.

My adapter works fine, perhaps yours is damaged. Write to the seller, I guess you still have a warranty period.

the pieces are made of plastic, The adapters did not fit too snug for me, but I only used the 50mm

The screws and nuts should have come with the adapter. If you only have one set, I would take them to a hardware store and see if they have a matching set. Remember these are fine thread machine screws/nuts. Be sure to put them in a plastic bag so you don't lose them.

Define loose. My adapter connects without ever falling out but it is by no means as snug a connection as some other adapters I've had. I haven't had any problems with the adapter though, if that's what you're asking.

no there isn't i had too look up on youtube. the ac adapter case gets broken in the process unless you use a feat gun. nothing some tape, or in my case a 12 inch zip tie won't fix.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

Try flipping the attachment ring over and then screw it on. Then screw the filter on. This should work. When I first tried mine I thought it did not fit until I flipped the adapter over.

It seems, based on the answers here, that it is hit or miss. I ordered two of these, but they came with no adapters so I have to return them both.

Mine used to fall off too. If you haven't already thrown it out, call them and have them send you a new replacement adapter that is metal. They know about this issue and will send it out for free.

I am sorry but I have not experienced a problem with the adapter. I would think Robinair would be able to help. Sorry.
