How do you attach the extra lenses/filters to the camera lens? Has anyone else had problems fitting the Vivitar lenses because mine does not fit.

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.

Yes, they fit at the very end of your lens. They screw on the very tiny threads. It took me a little while to figure out.

The Vivitar lenses only fit onto the end of the 75/300 lens. You screw them onto the end that does not connect to the camera.

Thank you for your interest in our package deal! With this particular bundle, there's an t-mount adapter ring that will attach to the end of the Vivitar lens which will allow it to connect to your D3000. This kind of lens only works in manual mode and manual focus only. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

Not sure if it will fit. I use it on a Nikon D5000, but it cracked about 2 months after purchase (I assume from heat). I taped it back together and it works fine if needed. I also have a Canon Rebel T1i and use a mid-level Canon speedlight on it and it is perfect. I never tried the vivitar on it, but I don't think its compatible. I highly recommend buying the right equipment for your Canon instead of using this cheap stuff that falls apart. Speed lights are $99-$300 and they are ideal for professional work. You can find info on Canons speed lights on the Canon website. Good luck!

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.

I have that combination. Without a skylight filter on the lens and the lens fully retracted, it fits like a glove. With the filter it won't quite snap. It might if it were stretched after a while, but up front no.

You have to get the one designed for cannon. Otherwise it will not fit your camera. Search for Vivitar 383 for cannon.

They should twist onto the lense that cam with the camera. Basically you leave the larger lense "the one already attacjes to the camera" then you would twist on the vivitar lense like a cap for a soda.

I'm not sure. You should call the manufacture. Here is the Vivitar support hotline 1-800-592-9541. They should be able to help you. I called them when I purchased my exact lens. They were able to clear up all my questions. The lens is amazing quality for the price. The only bad thing about this lens is it makes my DSLR a little top heavy. So you really should have a tripod if your going to use this lens for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

One of the rings is an adaptor that you put onto the front of the lens. Then the others screw into it (it's VERY shallow and hard to believe there is enough for the lenses to screw into, but it seems to work. In addition, when you have that adaptor ring on, you will not be able to use the lens protector that came with the camera, that's why they sent a new lens protector. Hope this helps.

When I got my lens; I thought that it didn't fit but I just put it where I thought should go and it did actually work. It does have threads and actually screws into the regular lens and it does work great. Good luck.

Actually I have this exact camera and it has a 52 mm thread. I bought the Vivitar macro lens and it's a 52 mm and it fits just fine.

Lens yes. The filters and lense adapters are Vivitar, if that is the correct spelling. I am very happy with my package. I did a lot of research and found this to be the best deal. You're welcome :)

Lensmate has a variety of accessories to go with this camera and they are fairly priced. I used the 52mm adaptor to keep it the same width as the camera's lens casing. ALthough, some filters only seemed available in 58mm. I didn't keep the camera long enough to invest in more another adaptor and more filters.

Look inside your lens cap, and it will say 52mm or 87mm, etc. and you will order that macro filter size for your lens. Check the description on the Vivitar website, and it will tell you what sizes the filters come in. I am not into macro photography a lot, but I did get some spectacular photos. The lenses can all be screwed on together or one at a time. It was well worth the small amount of $$.

The lens fits while attached to the camera body inside the case. I put the body of the camera in back down and lens facing up. There's not much room for anything else other than my cleaning accessories. Couldn't fit anything else.

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

I have purchased this lens kit for my Kikon 1 J 1, and I dont know either how I attach them to the camera and which lenses I can use in combination. Chun Li
