Optional telephoto lens It doesn't seem to fit My new FZ 18. Am I mistaken? Any help, appreciated, John

Good advice by Yuen Chung Kwong. Your Fz-18 should be bundled with an adapter tube where you can attach the hood or filters. But come to think of it, you already have an 18x optical magnification built with your camera. Unless you are a professional shutterbug, the 18x should be more than enough to cover all your basic photo needs.

I use it for my Canons, SX260 and 280: Wouldn't use it for my FZ200... And I never use it in "tripod" mode as I found that less useful than another mini trip I have, but the strap makes this thing excellent for a lot of situations where nothing else would do! But I wouldn't put anything other than a pocket camera on it.

Are you referring to the wide angle and telephoto lens? those should be mounted on the front of the 18-55mm lens not on the camera.

Yes, if you use a step ring to adapt the size of the threads if they are not 58mm. I always buy mine from Digital Goja--inexpensive, they work perfectly, and good service. There may be some vignetting at the open (short) end of the FZ200 lens. There will be some loss of light and IQ due to the extra glass.

I would be interested to know this as well as I just ordered the FZ200. I am going to go ahead and assume it does since it works with FZ150 and order one. If it works, I'll let you know. If not, hopefully I can return it!

Lol you think the FZ18 is featureless... It is an awesome camera. & what exactly is your point2. The cameras 18X zoom is the optical variety & not the digital type so why would 18X spoil image quality. As long as your hand is steady enough it makes no diff to IQ; Even if not steady the improved image stabilization will be handy...

Great! Thanks for replying and letting me know. Enjoying your G2? I just got mine this weekend and love it. Turned around and dropped another $700 on lenses and filters; nothing I already had would fit.

Thanks for the info on a potential new Canon with autofocus, DigitalHecht. I'll hold off as well to see what comes available. No rush, although I intend to purchase my first SLR in the next few months. The video autofocus is a must for me.

Hi Chloe, I just tried the reversing ring on my 18-55 efs lense and it worked. Try to take the large part of the ring and carefully screw it on the front of the lens. then fit the small end on the camera body. Please let me know if that works or not. I hope I have been of some help to you

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!

The bundle I purchased did not have a telephoto, but it did have a wide angle/macro lens and there is an additional adapter ring 9labeled 49-58mm0 that needs to be placed on the bottom of the lens before attaching it to the mounted 18-55mm lens that came with the camera. It is the same with the telephoto lens adapter that came in my package. By the appearance of your package in the email, I believe that you received these adapter rings.best wishes

I have A Panasonic DMC-FZ35 and its lens or rather the housing around it look very similar and I buy lenses for it. By no means is it a DSLR. there are advanced point and shoots that have interchangeable Lenses. In this camera there should be a place inside the tubular part of the housing where a lens could screw in. Although I am not certain of what mount compatibility this camera has, that would be another question. however you should be able to add a lens over/ in front of the zoom lens. the zoom lense however cant be interchanged.

On a business trip to NY my husband stopped in at B&H; Photo to find a UV filter for the SX20 IS. They tried both 58mm and 52mm in all brands and nothing fit. I found online an adapter from Lensmate (http://lensmateonline.com/newsite/SX10SX1.html). Great discussion on attaching filters. Has anyone purchased this and what's your recommendation.

Did you find out if you can use a 52mm filter without an adapter on the FZ7? I'm weighing my options between the FZ7 and the Canon S3, and would be interested to know if I can use some of the 52mm filters that I have from my old Yashica SLR.

As far as close up's I think it's great I don't have a filter on this camera but I also haven't used the P L FZ70, Don't know what the filter is for that your looking for but this camera has so much on it that you can do your self to make the pictures look like you want , so do your research but this is the one im sure you will pick. Also 62mm clear filter to protect lens or some other if you want special effects. other than that this camera is to great, You will be glad you picked it. I know I am.
