Proper Exif information in the JPEG picture file. 2008/12/15 Ver 1.1 Compatibility update for the DMW-FL220 flash unit. Improved auto white balance performance. Improved auto focus performance. Rumours of LX3 Lx3 to be discontinue on april 2009 due to economy down.Panasonic aint making money with the lx3 coz producing the best camera out from the company. http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2009/02/wh...s-in-april.html LX3 Secret Menu to check camera info and error To show the logged error codes and also the internal history of counts of camera actions, follow this procedure.... 1. Get the camera into an initial state where it can be made to get to those other information displays by turning the camera on in Record mode with the dial at P while holding down Focus and Up (cursor button) buttons. The camera will turn on like normal and tell you to remove the lens cap if you haven't already. 2. Now to get to the interesting bits, press Focus, Menu/Set, and Left (cursor button) all three together. The camera now cycles though three different displays each time you press the three buttons together. Normal > Error Code Log > Operation History Counts > Normal > etc Power camera off to reset to normal operation from then on. The Error Codes really are the work of a service person to make sense of, the explanation is in the Service Manual but without spare parts or adjustment procedures then it is a "back to service" job to fix errors that do appear if your camera is misbehaving. Mine shows all zeros at the moment. The Operation History Count is much more interesting and so far the only one that I know is the SHTCNT: figure, that is the actual shot count of the camera from birth or from last mainboard replacement I guess. The Operation History Count display on mine shows: Camera Info Ver 1.20 : 0000 : 0108 (obviously firmware level followed by ??) No: xxx (long number displayed, maybe the main board serial number?) PWRCNT: 1341 (I guess the number of times camera turned on, seems about right and does increment after each turn on/off) SHTCNT: 4575 (the true camera total shot count, only reset by some internal service operation like replacing parts) STBCNT: 111 (the flash count, number of shots with flash) PSVCNT: 1 (number of times the auto power off has actuated) This post has been edited by RoxyGal: Nov 5 2009, 12:52 AM

Similar in looks and build, but bigger and with interchangeable lens. And I heard some rumors about LX5 coming out next year (I think they skipped the "4" due to some sort of pantang? LoL....)

It's not a rumor. LX4 has already been announce by Panasonic- 1st Quarter 2010. Dont think they will be allowed to use LX5 instead as it will then clash with Leica D Lux5.

My next upgrade probably a dslr but definitely not sometime soon. Now saving up for used external flash.Enjoying Constant upgrading is one thing while enjoys shooting is another. Once LX4 is out then there's rumors about LX5 If haven't bought LX3 then just wait for LX4. As uncle ian said its somewhere around 1st Quarter of 2010. So If you think there's no need to acquire a decent camera during the period (almost 6 months of wait right? ) then just wait for LX4 / LX5 / LX n

Later post you the photo LX3 with FL-50R what the price on both model? i'd tested a FL-36R when meeting a forumer, thats the 1st time trying TTL. the 36R is doing quite ok for a medium size flash gun but the recharge is abit slow. just curious, in what situation u will use the 50R on LX3? i mean, the 50R has a strong output but our LX3 zoom range is just 60mm, wont it be abit "over"? thanks

Looking at Lowepro Apex 110 too but cannot tell the actual size by looking at it online. Sadly my place doesn't have a shop that have stock to let me see the real thing. http://shashinki.com/shop/lowepro-apex-sho...ack-p-2220.html I am looking for a smaller bag too that fit only my LX3 + Adapter with filter, so I can leave my Tele and Wide lens at home. But Lowepro Apex60 confirm cannot fit. Does anyone knows Crumple 2 million can fit it or not?

I bought one, but seldom use it. Too bulky to bring around and defeat the purpose of choosing LX-3 as a compact point and shoot. In fact I also bought the Wide lens and filters. it is fun to play with them, but dun expect miracles. Better get the DSLR out when u think u r going to shoot some nice pic. After all, bringing all the accessories with the LX-3 is not very different from carrying a DSLR. As for Bokeh - no... when u increase the distance (u will need to zoom in avoid vignette) the f/ stop increases, and the conversion lens will increase the aperture in actual - so Bokeh is very limited comparing to real lens.

misutā supākoru VIP 6,008 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Sep 17 2009, 03:28 AM) btw guys, any of u notice distortion problems at 16:9 with the lens at the widest? example, in this pic, girl and guy at the extreme left/right of the image looks wide is this just my camera or is it all like that? saw in the dpreview review that it have very little distortion even at the widest setting, but that was at 4:3 . Distortion is inevitable whenever a 3D scene is projected onto a 2D surface. Consider a typical atlas - Greenland looks bigger than China when it isn't! The type distortion you decribed is rectilinear distortion. You can reduce its effect by standing further from your subjects. The distortion that dpreview refers to is probably barrel or pincushion distortion.

Too bulky to bring around and defeat the purpose of choosing LX-3 as a compact point and shoot. In fact I also bought the Wide lens and filters. it is fun to play with them, but dun expect miracles. Better get the DSLR out when u think u r going to shoot some nice pic. After all, bringing all the accessories with the LX-3 is not very different from carrying a DSLR. As for Bokeh - no... when u increase the distance (u will need to zoom in avoid vignette) the f/ stop increases, and the conversion lens will increase the aperture in actual - so Bokeh is very limited comparing to real lens. QUOTE(ianho @ Sep 18 2009, 09:39 AM) The sensor is so small, nothing much u can do to get more bokeh. owh, okay, thanks for the info! guess i won't be getting the tele converter afterall lol. got poisoned by my friend's dslr with a 70-200mm lens last time. haha.

Both shop balik kampung for raya already. Anyway, I just bought a Benro 250EX, ND filter & Ricoh LC-1 from Yamiya 2 days ago. Only take 2 days to reach me (from the time I bank in) I am "fighting" with the LC-1 (auto lens cap) now, trying to make it "threaded" so I can put it on and off easily. Half done, but need lots of courages because i really need to screw it on and off VERY HARD! I am worried that tomorrow u will see me posting here crying that I have broke my camera lens Now only problem is every time I screw it on or off, it will produce lots of 'dust',. Need to clean the lens every time so very inconvenience. Maybe if i can get a spare "ring" I will try to sand the LC-1 down and glue it to the ring. Anyone knows where I can get the "ring"?

Really? That's the best reply you can come up with? Senior Member 3,000 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong, Selangor	Hey is the 0.3m minimum focusing distance at the tele end bothering anyone? It's starting to bother me when I try to compose at the tele end only to know that I'm too close. Or is that the case with all lenses (including DSLR lenses coz I'm trying to connect)? That it changes with focal length.

Sometimes small particles (food crumbs, sand particles or any other tiny stuffs) might stuck at the gap between the shutter button. If you have the blower or compressed air can can try to clean the stuck button.

Get a 3M Microfiber and a blower. Lenspen is good too. But nothing beats indirect cleaning (no touching of lenses). If that doesn't work, then fall back to either Microfiber cloths or the lenspen. Try not to use any cleaning agent. 3M Microfibers have a layer of 'oil' which effectively cleans without harming the coating.

I've never encountered anyone who told me that their P&S camera has fungus growth. plus, most of the P&S camera owners just leave their camera on their table, bed and even the toilet! not a LX-3 Owner, but I find the Video quality suprisingly good.

Firmware version 2.0 supports several new functions and improves various performance factors to elevate shooting convenience and fun. The firmware also rectifies several minor issues to enhance operation. The adoption of new algorithms makes it possible to speed up the AF time by approx.20% to 0.50 sec at wide-end. In addition, a 1:1 aspect ratio recording mode is added as a shooting option in addition to the conventional 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. A white balance bracket shot is also now available. The new scene mode High Dynamic is newly incorporated in the scene mode, which helps to capture a scene with moderate exposure even though the scene contains both bright and dark areas together. You can select either of 3 options, Standard, Art, or B/W, depending on the desired effect and personal taste to make the photo look natural to artistic. The white balance adjustment performance is greatly improved especially under fluorescent lights, daytime sunlight and low light. As well as those mentioned above, the new firmware incorporates attractive advancements for enthusiastic photographers. The exposure compensation range as well as its bracket setting is widened. The fixed composition guidelines are now movable to the intended position with the control of cursor or joystick for free framing. Over exposed parts of the picture are shown not only in the preview but also in playback mode. The lens position of zooming and manual focusing is memorized and will resume at this position. The photographer’s name can be embedded to the EXIF information of the picture and it can be confirmed via the updated PHOTOfunSTUDIO ver.2.1. Panasonic invites all users of DMC-LX3 to apply the updated firmware. The new firmware will be available worldwide at, at 07:00 BST on 28th of September, 2009.

No, I didn't have any 3rd party batt but the firmware upgrade didn't mentioned anything about battery safety prevention. I said this because Panasonic locked G1 and GH1 in their latest firmware upgrades from using 3rd party batt. However, I can confirm from my colleague as he have a lot LX3 3rd party batt.

I use full manual and set the aperture it to as small (higher number = smaller, so i can set a longer exposure time) as I can get the nicest trail. But if it is too bright, I'll use my ND filter (for long long trail). I thought The ND filter is fun too to reduce the DOF, but anyway result is not very good due to the limited zoom and small sensor size. But u need to get the lens adapter to use a filter.

Hmmm... I think the High Dynamic mode shouldn't be confused with HDR. The High Dynamic feature is just like the Shadow Optimization feature found on most cameras. It is meant to balance the exposure of the subject if the background is very bright or there exist a high contrast lighting. In the situation, the subject would be very dark because the camera will attempt to compensate exposure of the background. If it doesn't do this, the background would be overexpose and the brightness will bleed into the rest of the picture. As a result of this compensation on exposure the subject will naturally turn dark. This really is the limitation on sensor because its dynamic range is narrow especially for a sensor this small. This High Dynamic feature allows it to give priority to the subject during exposure compensation to prevent it from being expose too dark. This feature is available now because Panasonic has found a way to increase the exposure compensation to +/-3 than the original +/-2. However, nothing beats a real HDR. If you're on FB, join up the Panasonic Lumix page where the photographers show photos from their Tibet Expedition. Those pictures were taken with TX7 and using HDR photo technique. QUOTE(dazzle @ Sep 29 2009, 06:34 PM) I think you must update from 1.2 to 1.3..... Later only 2.0. Cause 2.0 didn't consist of the 1.3 changes..... I think the firmware v2.0 is not an incremental update but a full update. In firmware update process, the system wipes out the entire EROM space and then rewrite it entirely according to the new firmware you wish to flash. This is called flashing. Not to be confused with program updates typical on a PC where it can dynamically change certain files while retaining others. QUOTE(daruma @ Sep 30 2009, 07:44 AM) new firmware download suspended. is it got problem? is it save to update? Hmmm doesn't sound good. Probably the server is down. What about older firmware updates like v1.1, 1.2, 1.3? Is it still there? If they are its definitely a update recall. Probably due to some issues.

NO!!! IT'S HIM!!! Senior Member 3,887 posts Joined: Jun 2008	COPIED FROM ANOTHER FORUM:- p.s. does not seem like a big deal after all... custom mode is referring to what hor? Manual mode? QUOTE This is what Panasonic emailed me about the issues some are experiencing with firmware 2.0 for the LX3. As many people have previously noted, Panasonic temporarily suspended the availability of v 2.0 firmware for the DMC-LX3. Panasonic's Call Center told me that while using the “Custom Mode” some customers may experience one of the following issues: 1. 1:1 aspect ratio may not function as intended. 2. While zooming, zoom magnification indication may be incorrect, and may stop updating. 3. The on screen guidelines may be off center. 4. The time display for the built-in memory may display the wrong time. A corrected firmware version should be posted on or about October 20, 2009. For any customers who have already downloaded and installed v 2.0, and who are experiencing any of these problems, they should "RESET" the camera using the "SETUP MENU" option. This will restore normal operation, but any custom setting will be reset to the factory default settings. This information will be posted to the Panasonic LUMIX Global Site soon very soon. Customers who have posted this firmware on public file sharing servers should stop distributing this firmware immediately. Most Important: Please do not to revert back to v 1.3 from v 2.0 as it may cause some side effects. [COMPLAIN] This post has been edited by andrekua: Oct 1 2009, 12:04 AM

Go try to put it sideways and give your say on it... NG1152 .. from the dimension.. > Inside: (LxWxH) 9 x 6 x 12cm By theory.. LX3 Should be 6 cm X 11cm X 8cm(Roughly after you put the adapter in....) Better get someone to confirm this though..

Meaning if I have taken 300 pictures (all different dates) it will land up in one big folder. Is it possible to separate them into like different folders automatically when i connect my LX3 to the PC? Like different folders for different dates. My Canon does that, I wonder if the Panasonic can do the same Thanks Wait do I set it to "Sort by day of recoding"? This post has been edited by idoblu: Oct 3 2009, 06:24 PM

You'll get bad 'flares' if you shoot up a high contrast and brightness background. But it will not show in the photos. Which is why most DSLR with LiveView have move up to CMOS sensors. The larger the sensor is, the worse 'flaring' you'll get. Its already bad on the LX3 and its sensor size is like what? Just 20% of 4/3 size? And I don't know why CMOS sensors don't have this problem. Probably I should read about it. I do have a high-end Sony AVCHD camcorder using a CMOS sensor for video recording (a first in the industry?). Shoot it up at a high contract and brightness background, guess what? No flaring. QUOTE(nomoredfox @ Oct 7 2009, 10:19 AM) ya...i saw tat too....juz to confirm hopefully the new 2.1 will boost more ...LOL especially optical zoom ..at least 1 more x la....hahahaha Don't think so lor... hehehe... cause optical zoom capability is hardware related. The firmware can only improve handling and operations performance. Of course it can also add features but still within the limits of the hardware. Perhaps they can add one more 1x on the digital zoom? Thats doable. But it'll have to strain the noise reduction capabilities. Guess they would have to improve on that first. Personally I'm more concerned with the white balance and AF speed. The v2.0 seem to be more consistent now.

~ di di Android di di ~ Senior Member 3,749 posts Joined: Dec 2005 From: Sydney, AU	Here's more resources to read up on why CCD sensors have that effect. Its called sensor blooming and it is a known issue only with CCD sensors. CMOS do not exhibit these properties. http://www.awaiba.com/en/technology/ http://www.photonfocus.com/html/eng/cmos/c...chnologyEng.pdf http://www.engineeringtalk.com/news/mlt/mlt106.html So that basically concludes my explanation. CMOS sensors just don't bloom. Since LX3 uses CCD, we have this problem. It is important to note that this isn't really a big problem but rather an inconvenience during photo framing. And yes it ruins the experience.

Manual is not that thick anyways one round in the toilet and you will gain much more knowledge on your LX-3 However, Malaysia is a "spoon-fed" culture where ppl expect to be spoon fed the information then looking it up by themselves.

Really? That's the best reply you can come up with? Senior Member 3,000 posts Joined: Sep 2005 From: Puchong, Selangor	LOL what's up with the resentment from being asked to read the manual? It's the single most referred to document when it comes to trivial technical inquiries, esp when it's trivial. Google is next. But I think fiddling with the buttons and controls is the best way to explore the camera. For guys with an attention span of <5 minutes, nothing beats wasting 1000 shutter counts to finally know the camera inside out.

~ di di Android di di ~ Senior Member 3,749 posts Joined: Dec 2005 From: Sydney, AU	Here are more documents which explains why CMOS is a better choice (depending on application) for fast cameras and live-view. http://www.dvxuser.com/jason/CMOS-CCD/ http://www.turnkey-solutions.com.au/cam_%2..._technology.htm Now we do know that a camera with live-view will have to operate the sensor at full time. This is where CMOS is a good choice because it is energy efficient. And because it does not require a lot of power to operate them, they operate cooler. If it operates cooler, noise is usually lesser. Imagine a full time CCD, you're gonna need a lot of 'cooling circuits'. Also CMOS scans and deposits information faster so it is very useful for highspeed cameras. And by high speed cameras, I don't mean those 1D, 1Ds, D3, D3x and the likes. I mean slow-mo cameras where they capture thousands of frames in a second. This post has been edited by davidmak: Oct 7 2009, 11:03 AM

So far I see only Venus HD processors with AVCHD capability. Venus 4 only Motion JPEG at HD resolutions (720).

It's smaller one beside the shutter button. I confused that and that costed about 50 PWRCNT. repeat step 6 when you get to the screen of zeroes, aka '< + MENU/SET, then FOCUS'

Yeah my lx3 all stripped to the bare (no adapters and such since already got dslr to do the heavy jobs I bought the LX3 and DL4 when I oredi had SLRs. It's purpose is for super wide angle n super fast aperture in a small compact cam. Not for zoom. If want zoom then shud buy Canon G10 or G11 lor. The LX3 n DLux 4 at 24mm is truly 24mm wide man. I've tested shots with my 5D at 24mm and the LX3 n DL4 at 24mm n it is true 24mm wide on the LX3/DL4. 24mm wide is already super wide. Anyway, those adapters that claim to do Ultra Wide on the LX3/DL4 r pretty much fake. It is much wider but it has the vignetting n by the time u crop out the vignetting, the true picture comes back to only about 24mm wide. There's also a reason y Leica doesn't offer any lens adapters coz they will heavily degrade the fantastic quality of that Leica lens. Only Panasonic saw fit to come out with the adapter kits. If u look in Leica website for optional parts for the DL4, there r no lens adapters available coz of that reason. Havent seen pics from the Panasonic ultra wide kit though, I guess it's gonna be true ultra wide with the panasonic kit but the price is like................

oro? Senior Member 4,187 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: sleepy melati	Not sure about the wide / vignetting problem for me the only time the lens vignettes is when using the telephoto lens. Yea its all about utilizing the camera.If theres any need to try something new and the fund is limited (but still want to try it) go for the adapters and lens. I've enjoyed using it but when it seems that you have hit the ceiling (10k shutter count later) and the opportunity to upgrade (money falls down from the sky) go ahead and update

I've enjoyed using it but when it seems that you have hit the ceiling (10k shutter count later) and the opportunity to upgrade (money falls down from the sky) go ahead and update actually, a lot of SLR owners buy LX3/DL4 as spare camera. not the other way round coz DL4 oredi costs as much as a mid level SLR n LX3 costs nearly as much as entry level SLR. Like my case, I have SLRs that do just about everythin I can dream of but I still use the lil pocket rockets a whole lot.

Nat Geo NG1152 http://shashinki.com/shop/national-geograp...facturers_id=84 or Lowepro Apex 60 AW http://shashinki.com/shop/lowepro-apex-all...facturers_id=30 For my LX3+ Adapter... Any idea what is the pros and cons for each of these two? Lowepro AW = All Weather - it is true "Weatherproof". Anyway, I doubt the Nat Geo can fit too, but no chance to try out. Better buy a bigger bag like Crumpler 1 or 2 mil. Added on October 9, 2009, 7:51 pm QUOTE(ianho @ Oct 9 2009, 05:58 PM) Waht oso dont buy. LX3 is a lovely lil pocket rocket. Just leave it as it is. Ya I agree! Pls try b4 u buy. I got a lot of the accessories: Pandabase Adapter, Tele, Wide, CPL filter, ND filter, UV filter, flash, tripod (Benro 250EX), extra battery and SD... Frankly, 99% of the time when I carry the LX3 out, those accessories sleeps at home. IMO, better invest in a real DSLR if u r willing to carry those loads, Or u expect those things can help u to take photo "like a DSLR". Even LX-3 + Adaptor + few filters are very inconvenience to carry around! Furthermore, those accessories can't take very good qaulity photos like DSLR due to the limitation of small sensor & quality of the extra Lens. Bare in mind too, converter affects the aperture too. BUT!! If it is just for "fun" ( like Ianho taiko who has both Leica & LX-3) go for them!! fun to play with and to "wow" friends (but at a cost lar..)

Camera + Adapter+ Lens cap is 6.1 x 9 x 11 cm and looking at all the dimension.. the bag can fit unless they are dishonest at the dimension... I also still carry the LX3 without the adapter if I'm doing an outing on my own.. But the Adapter+UV filter is very helpful when you have more than one person handling the camera... smudges on the Leica lens is a mood killer... Thus the need for a proper bag with the said size. Both can fit by theory and Apex 60 AW can fit snugly as claimed by a user in Flickr.

I prefer LX3 over G10 for the cool classic look, size, and the 24mm wide lens + 2.0 aperture. Meaning I can get more nice indoor picture as indoor is usually limited lighting (big aperture helps), limited distance (wide lens helps). As for outdoor, G10 might have a bit extra edge with the extra zoom. (But who need zoom for landscape?) Zoom only help if u r shooting sports, events, birds.. If u really want to take good portrait, or very good outdoor pic, go for DSLR. For serious portrait, forget about both LX3 and G10, u need extra lighting most of the time, go for DSLR. Both are only P&S camera - to complement DSLR, not to replace. All P&S has big limitation. Don't expect too much, G10 and LX3 is just "above the rest". Canon S90 might be another option for u to consider. But as for me - I love my LX3. G10 just lack the "soul".

How long does it take to do the modification? Same here. I sanded it until the white dot just vanished too. Then use a pen knife to cut away the plastic part that block the way. I use sand paper No.80 to start with, then move to No.120. Sanding is quite fast, about 1/2 hour (while watching TV ). But the killing part is the cutting. Need to be very careful not to cut too much, and need to take care of your finger as u need to hold on the cap very strongly, and cut very strongly. Any mistake will cause u a very deep cut in your finger, or puncture the "flap". Don't cut too much too, I cut until the plastic just almost finish, maybe 0.5mm left? (or more?), if cut too much, the cap will be too loose. At first I thought I can snap it into the detachable "ring" and can be screw in and out as I need, but it's not, u still snap it onto the camera after removing the "ring" - just like the original LC-1, but now nicer and easier. It is not too loose too if u do it properly. Vignetting is barely noticeable only at max zoom.

l33t! Senior Member 1,903 posts Joined: Feb 2005 From: ipohmali	@shinichi well the duration of the mod really depends on your sanding kungfu i took about roughly an hour to finish up the job, bought the roughest and finest sandpaper available from the hardware store and just sand it, i tried using those stones those auntie used to sharpen their knife too, but that one is of no use, sand paper is the best option, start from the rough then steadily move on to sand it on the finest. Do remember to rotate every once in awhile when you are sanding as you would not want a unsymmetrical LC-1 right? You must use force as well, where the chinese are concern its am lik (canto), u must have the kungfu! I did not use any cut and sand ways that reader had mentioned, mine is just pure sanding kungfu in action! here's two shots internal and external of my LC-1. Will be posting my bag where i put all my stuffs later.

l33t! Senior Member 1,903 posts Joined: Feb 2005 From: ipohmali	as requested by nightstalker1993, here's a short review of the bag that houses all my junk With the LX-3, more or less people like us are definitely going for all the accessories that this small little camera have to offer from third party manufacturers. The only lacking part is that there is no specific camera bag that is designed for the LX-3, however I still found my answer in a Fujifilm bag, please do not kill me any of those panasonic die hard fans out there Here's a picture of everything that is taken out of the bag for this shot. 1 x LX-3 6 x AA batteries 1 x Wide angle adapter 1 x Tele adapter 1 x External Flash 1 x UV filter 1 x Polarizer 1 x 46 - 52mm adapter 1 x lens hood 1 x 52 mm lens cover 1 x original len cover 1 x spare LX-3 battery I got this bag during the Fujifilm F200EXR launch, and it has been collecting dust ever since then until I got my LX-3. Ironically, the bag is seriously more towards a Fujifilm bag but designed and tailor made for the LX-3. Everything just fits in nicely. front view back view Everything out of the bag Everything inside the bag if you guys will notice, there is an extra compartment above the two compartments below that would fit the LX-3 snugly, however it would not fit if you have the 42m-52mm adapter attached. batteries in here! Overall this bag has made many trips traveling with me to bangkok, hiking, waterfall, strolling around the streets, and basically everywhere that I was in the mood for taking the LX-3 out for some shots. As it is a backpack styled bag, you wouldn't even feel the weight of the stuffs compared to a slingbag. You guys can check out my flickr if you may, here's the link for my photostream. http://www.flickr.com/photos/30914419@N08/

NO!!! IT'S HIM!!! Senior Member 3,887 posts Joined: Jun 2008	I saw the sanding method not too long ago. The first thing that pop out of my head if why would they waste so much time to do it. You could have it done nice and clear by walking into an engineering shop. They can clamp it and then machine it down to the thickness you want without cutting your hands.

Since the "kaki" at the can spoil the thread on the camera, i sand the "kaki" instead. so when u screw it on, it won't be too tight until spoiling the thread, but enuff to hold tight and turn the lens easily (to solve the vignetting from the to or bottom).

l33t!

I even pushed it so hard that I'm afraid the whole lens might drop off, but it doesn't. I also tried my new LC-1, which is very fit, to screw it in and out very hard until my LC-1 has thread, so it can be use like a threaded ring. The purpose I threaded it is because I often take it out to use my Adapter and filters. by the way, anyway to upload photo directly to this forum? I tried many times tonight but failed to upload to my flickr acc.
