I've brought lens adapters for the p510 before, but they created a tunnel vision effect. Is this a problem with this?

As long as you have the adapter on the camera, you're always going to have that tunnel vision unless you zoom in till it's gone. If your are thinking of getting this kit, I would say skip and save your money. It adds nothing at all to the use of the camera.

Any lens adapter for the P510 will have the problem of what they call 'vignetting', or as you say 'tunnel vision effect'. You can cure it somewhat by zooming in some, or by cropping your photos in your editing software. The flaw is caused because of the distance between the camera's lens and the added lens or filter. If you'd like the definitive information guide I highly recommend the book 'Photographer's Guide To The Nikon Coolpix P510' by Alexander S. White. It's available on Amazon.com. Hope that this is helpful! Sincerely, Richard Finegan

Not is a problem, is normal. Adapter complete is for telephoto (extended lens). Half adapter, without final part, is for wide angular (compressed lens). Tunnel effect is present if you use the adapter without this considerations

I return this product because it was not compatible with the camera got the same tunnel effect you are describing and a message on the camera telling me it was not compatible. Hope this helps.

I had this problem as well. You can zoom out past the area where you get the tunnel-vision effect. However, this adaptor kit does not allow you to zoom out to the maximum, thus the magnifier has little value since you can zoom under normal circumstances (without the adaptor kit) to get the same magnification.

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

I own a Sony NEX-5R and in the setup menu you have to go to "release w/o lens" and it must be set to 'enable'. That's how I got my adapter to work even though I don't own one like the version pictured. Good luck!

check your lens for fingerprints. Got a bunch of pix one time blurry because of that.

Hello Jay. I bought the hoodman glasses model for the D7000 and the D700. They are a constant on my cameras since I started using them; never never without them. Easy and comfortable for me as a glasses wearer. I have never own or shot the D5100, although I understand it is a very nice camera. Compare specs for certain perhaps call nikon customer service. Best wishes

Hi Paula. No. The P510 requires an adapter. Here is the ASIN that you can copy and paste into the Amazon search for the Nikon P510 filters with adapter: B00D3ROIVY

I use this lens/adapter with nex-f3, and there isn't any lens correction needed imho. The edge when wide open will be fuzzy-ish, but that adds a nice uniqueness to what you shoot with this lens, at least for me. It ain't a Leica, but that doesn't mean you can't get great photos from this fun to use lens. I bought a different adapter though, this one is a bit skimpy

Good news, guys. I called Fujifilm and they're sending me a new lenscap. Turns out the girl I spoke to in the Parts Department had the same camera and knew of the problem firsthand. The camera is awesome, but I'd advise getting rechargeable batteries, because it drinks juice.

the adapter attach to the body of lens, not in the lens. use a "allen key" (not included) and fix perfect for P520 model, they came with a inner ring that pressure the adapter, not the screw, so not damage the body. detach or atach its easy but take a little time, so the better way is let the first part of adapter in the camera and buy a lens cap 67mm to protect de lens. sorry for my bad english

It is really hard to tell whether it is the adapter or the lens itself. The images I have taken so far are reasonably good. I am using Vemar and Mamiya lenses from my film days. If the old manual lenses you have are of good quality you are likely to get good images. There doesn't seem to be any drop off in light transmission. This adapter has a single, clear piece of glass in it so light loss, if any, should be minimal.

The AF works really well on the D5100 my friend. The site you saw that information on has no idea what they are talking about. The image quality of the photos are great too. Kirt

You don't. At least I've had no luck taking them off when this happens. You now have a lens that is "married" to that adapter.

I have the same item. It isnt made to screw on. It is design to slip onto the end of your focal tube. You must turn ON the camera to activate the the focal tube to extend to its outward position. Hold the focal tube while sliding this adapter on its end. If you dont hold the focal tube firmly...it will slide back into the camera housing. There are no threads on the P510 for you to screw to, that is why you would use this adapter to provide yourself a threaded end to attach any filter or attachments of your choice.

These accessories do fit the Nikon Coolpix P510, however I personally do not recommend this kit. I own this very kit and tried working with it extensively. The lenses do not work properly. I initially was only shopping for the filter & shade hood, but decided to try the kit with additional lenses. The filter kit works fine and can be purchased without the lenses. Hope this helps.

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.

Not bad to me :-)I mostly use MF lenses adapter on it and the peak value is very useful!

An adapter will allow you to attach the lens to the camera, but it may not accomplish what you want it to. The lenses designed for film project an image circle that is (typically) larger than the sensor in a digital camera. The sensor crops the picture and also thereby receives somewhat less light. Olympus digital lenses match the image circle of the lens closely to the size of the sensor. Further, the light from the Olympus lens will strike the sensor closer to the perpendicular, meaning that the light is more likely to reach the sensing elements which are imbedded in the structure of the sensor. Google for "What is a digital lens?" for a good explanation. The e510 is capable of excellent photography with excellent lenses. If you don't want or need high-quality lenses, then you may not need a high-quality camera body. There are some excellent point and shoots out there.
