we need a before and after type shots

how much was it? was it really worth it? quality any good??

The rest will be coming up when I can sort out the tube

Ã,£129.99, probably concidering an official 1.4x would cost Ã,£300+, I dont have the equipment to check quality but it looks OK so far.

it arrived it arrived!!!

Brand new in its original box too it appears Completely sealed it was

Awwww soo sooo nice!! Just cant use it until the damn adapter turns up with the wide angle one in a few days time

Makes everything HOOOOGE!!! when you look through it with your eye

 :shock:  :shock: I went to the metrocentre shop today and they didnt have one so they checked, seems they are stopping selling the tube  :shock:

Hopefully though they will get one from another shop in........ [insert :pray: smiley here]

Do you already have an adapter tube where your filters can screw on?

If so just buy a whatever mm to 49mm stepdown ring and shove that on it.

Unfortunately I dont have an adaptor tube, the only one I have is a skylight and that screws into a thread in the lens hood

yeah but thats what I mean.

With my fuji I can unscrew that lens hood so I call it an adapter tube . But all you need is a stepdown ring to fit your lenshood to your lens. It screws in just like your filter.

All you need to make sure is that at full zoom your camera lens doesnt hit the other lens in front of it, which... if you can fit a filter on it anyway, means it wont. So just buy a stepdown ring of the right dimensions.

Its a rare thing, officially its a filter adaptor for the panasonic FZ10/FZ20 looks like this one but its no longer listed on the jessops website.

If needbe I will order a fisheye lens from the US and get one with that  

what mm is your cam and what mm does the other end need to be?

You dont need one though.

I already have one of those adapters you just linked to.

I have to remove the adapter tube I currently have in my camera (what you call a lens hood on yours) and replace it with the raynox one to fit it but all you need or all I really need is a 55mm to 49mm stepdown ring.

Thats the one for your camera though and I said looks like rather than is. Will have a look at the idea of using the lens hood for now though, TBH its plastic and not that strong...
