Thanks John
Thanks but the Panasonic web site here no longer list the DMW-LMC52
filter..
What that other web site listed, was that the DMW-LMC52 is now Obsolete.
May be they have moved to the 55mm filter because of to minimize
vignetting but then they have now
done it right by fitting the filter to the lens like in the FZ18..
But the problem with a slim filter is that you can't fit a lens cap to it.
The Sony H9 uses a similarly arrangement like the FZ8 but uses a 74mm
filter is that to minimize
vignetting.?
The arrangement of Filter/LensHood and Lens Cap it a Total hiccup on this
Camera, does not help in
getting the camera up and running in quick time, plus having to sit does
to handle all the bits or a
very large camera bag.
Its a pity that they did not use the simple way that its done on the Sony
F717, just remove standard
lens cap, remove lens hood and click it on, all with a fitted filter,
all with one hand and
standing up.
What I was thinking that might be good replacement for my Sony F717 it
tuning up as a total joke,
unless you with to move up to the not so highly rated FZ18..
