Both the lens hood adapter and the lens adapter (DMW-LA2, optional)
screw onto the body, not the lens.
Filters mount to the lens hood adapter or to the lens adapter, not the
lens.
Thus a conversion or close-up lens cannot be mounted at the same time as
the lens hood or filter, and vice versa.
The front of the lens hood adapter has a 52 mm thread for filters. 52
mm filters are not obsolete.
A 55 mm filter may be mounted to the lens adapter instead of a
conversion or close-up lens.
To minimize vignetting at wide angle, thin filters should be used. Some
flash vignetting may occur with any filter.
