DMC-LX3 filters: Does anybody know (A) whether any of the filter kits are non-junk and (B) how they mechanically fit the camera?

In order to use a filter (UV or otherwise) with the LX3, you need to purchase and attach a Panasonic DMW-LA4 Conversion Adapter first. This does add a little additional bulk to the camera, but it is nice to have on the camera to protect the lens anyway. I generally keep it on the LX3 with some kind of filter (WC Protector, ND, UV, or Circular Polarizing). You also need this conversion adapter to use the Wide Angle Conversion Lens (which I love to use). The filters required for the adapter are 46mm (which are rare, especially in stores) and the Wide Angle Conversion Lens does not take a filter. Panasonic sells all of the above-mentioned filters, and you can purchase other brand filters in a range of qualities from lower-end filters by Tiffen to higher-end filters by Heliopan.

The filter Is female threaded. So you can only use the fotodiox filters that come with the kit. Other filters won't work. Also I bought this for skiing use, I had a problem with condensation on the inside of the filter.

Why not go with Adorama? I've heard they're fairly reputable and they have the 18-55 & 55-200mm kit cheaper than Amazon.Hope you get yours soon. I've been searching around for a long time to order mine.

i almost bought a kit today , but I called the business 1st. was told obvious lies re: lenses, which i confirmed with a sales rep @ our local camera store. Something told me to look @ Ripoffreport.com, which when I did turned up hundreds of fraud reports on @ least 20 companies whose websites I looked at, had considered buying from, and are often alias names. The stories are terrible! Also th New York Post did an article and Pc Online did an article on these camera sellers scams.

Bought the Professional Accessory Kit for my Nikon L820. Found several problems: 1. With filter adapter on you get tunnel vision as you begin to extend the lens. 2. Apparently the filters will not work on the Nikon lens itself (too large circumference) so they are basically useless to me. 3. The hood will not take filters as the lens will push the filter out as it extends. If I am doing something wrong, someone please let me know. Have e-mailed the product source 3 days ago, and although a prompt reply was promised, I have yet to hear from them.

I bought a set for my Nikon D3300, and it has worked well for me. I can't change ISO, but I can live with that. The mechanics on installing the tubes are kind of flaky, so I have to be a little patient.

You will need to purchase a adaptation set. I previously had one for other lenses/filters, so it wasn't a problem, but I can see where this might be frustrating if you did not have these.

I can definitely recommend the Lensmate converter. Like the previous poster mentioned, if you have 58mm filters, go with 58mm. Otherwise, the 52mm converter fits like it was part of the camera in the first place. There really isn't a difference between 52mm and 58mm when it comes to filters available.

Hi, I bought these filters in Amazon Hoya 49mm Digital Filter Kit With UV(C), Circular Polarizer & NDx8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00374SVEI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1). Those works and fit perfectly.

You mean the DMC-FZ200 right? I ordered the conversion lens for it but I did not have right adapter, its still a mystery to me as to which adapter really fits perfectly onto it because the one I ordered did not.

thanks for posting that. had the camera for years, and forgot there was such a thing. finally got a UV filter, and was baffled as to why it didn't fit, when all the info I could find said 52 was the right size. fortunately, I did have the original box, with the accessories still in it.

It doesn't fit onto cameras, it's a screw on adapter to lenses. In this case it's a 58mm filter thread. If you look behind the lens cap there should be a number, that would be the filter thread. Most kit lenses are 58 mm (lenses that come with the camera)

They fit my Contour +2, not sure about the camera you are asking about. I tend to run my batteries completely flat and then charge them so having three on rotation works well for me and they seem to have lasted all summer, several charges. That being said, we all know how quality control works these days...

The most important part is the adapter ring. After turning the camera on (lens comes forward) the adapter fits over the raised ridges and turns about 90 degrees. Then the 58 mm filters screw onto the adapter. I would post pictures if I could. Look at the ridges around the end do the lens. Hope this helps

I don't know about "6 new artistic filters", because when I bought my camera nothing mention about filters. Dealer will you please elaborate.
