i think there is a similar product from Falcon Eye (model : DPT-386AFZ)... at least from the outlook its same, no idea on the power and fucntion.

haha... thanks sis for the info =)

saving $ at the meantime

Lens and LCD protector?.........

Don't tell me you actually let them STICK UV stickers on the lens!!??

For me, I find covering the rm1k++ lenses with a cheap protector sticker might give it protection, but spoiled the image quality all together. What's worse a sticker!. From my experience protective stickers will affect the image quality once it get's light scratches and turn dirty. Not to mention flares or unwanted reflection from the sticker.

The shop offer me the same stickers for the lens, a cheap rm20 or 30 one. Imagine my horror of putting like that in front on the most important thing on the camera. Better to invest on an adapter and lens hood.

or get a Ricoh LC-1 automatic lens cap, which for me, just arrived this afternoon



Fully zoomed out


Fully zoomed in


took me ard 30 mins fiddling with the perfect balanced for the thickness and location of the tape

now theres only a VERY VERY slight dark spot on the bottom right hand corner of the camera with the flash on, and ZERO vignetting on full zoom. used 4 layers of tape, unlike the 3 recomended on ianho's blog.

and i think i've just added 200 to the pwrcnt in just 1 day

LOL. U saw my youtube video or not? I oso liked it so much keep playing with the thing in out in out for a while. Kekekeke.

yeah, the damned cap is addictive!

btw, any idea on how to get rid of the dark spot on the lower right corner while fully zoomed out?

its very minor, but still kinda distracting

U see the white dot on the LC1? Turn it until the white dot is at about 4-5 o'clock position. Near the Macro flower there. Play around with it until satisfied. The way u've done it now looks very nice n symmetrical but the top flap blocks the flash. what u need to do is let the flash shoot tru the gap between the flaps.

well..the lens protector they gave me worth rm100+..i guess it is not cheap...lol

may i know where did u bought your camera and the lens protector?
for me, its quite hard to believe such small piece of silicon can cost that much. unless the price tag bluffs u...

no offence ya~

Hi,
Anybody tried stacking up a CPL on top of a UV filter using Pandabase 52mm adapter on LX3? Any vignetting or impact to the pix quality?

Waiting for laichong adapter.... seems I can't bring it around for pictures.... Should have just gone to meet you today .

I would think CPL would have an impact, removing reflections hehe.

If you have bought the adapter set with UV, you would have been able to check it out. I'll let you know once I received it.

anyone wanna sell their 2.0 telelens ? pm me

Thanks for sharing. Updated mine too

i bought it in penang....the price tag written 100+..but i never ask the details..coz its free ma..haha..maybe it is just a maketing skill..i dunno...poor ppl like me dun have extra money to invest on better protector..

CPL filtering is stronger than UV. Why need to stack up?

hey guys, saw this on yamiya.

http://www.yamiya.com.my/store/product.php...&cat=346&page=1

what you guys think?

plan on buying it lol.

Coz it's very troublesome everytime to remove the UV, and replace with the CPL, then remove CPL and replace with UV again....imagine you are on a trip where you go outdoor and indoor throughout the day.
At bright daylight outdoor, you need CPL and once you go indoor or places with no sunlight, you have to remove the CPL again and replace back with UV.
If I can stack it up, UV will always stay on the lens.

I tried. there's a"ring" around when u zoom. i think normal CPL is too thick. can't post pic here directly without uploading to flickr (or other host). i'm a bit lazy to upload to my flickr. line too slow

May I know the thickness of your CPL filter? If u don't zoom, leave it at widest angle, do u still see the ring?

Thanks.

if its just UV, for sure there is no vignette. but im not sure will it coz vignette after attach another CPL on top... have to test later, coz camera not with me now...
