Finally found a 49mm pinch-type lens cap. Some protection for my filter too now

I would buy it if I'm here in Malaysia I'll only be back in 4 months time.

By the way how do you prevent this star shaped lampost light when shooting? This is shot on JPEG.

Hi there,i'm new in photography. what is SAB issues? how do i check ? i got a series x100 start with 12M also

SAB = Sticky Aperture Blades. IF your set is faulty, the aperture blades won't go to what you set it. For example, for mind, anything I set it to, F2, F2.8, F4, F5.6, F8, F11 or F16, everything is F2.

hi bro, where u get this ... i also looking for it ....

Bro. Can the pinch cap fit with the hood? If can, I would like to get one for myself also.

At DSLR Subang Parade, but they had only two.

I see, Thanks for your info

thanks bro ... will search it ....

Trying increasing your aperture (smaller aperture number) example f2.0 ... Me neither in Msia currently.. Going back this July too.. haha..

how much u got for it? not sure i need 1 though

I got it for RM35, I know its not the cheapest, but I couldn't find any pinch-type cap for sale on LYN as well. Or maybe I wanted it instantly lol.

if you want pinch cap with hood, the cap needs to be 52mm.


same with if you want to make a cheap ring to replace the adapter, just get a cheap cheap 49mm filter, take out the glass and mount it terbalik, and you'll have a makeshift adapter that will fit any 49mm thread accessories. or like me, just get a US0.99 cent 52-49m STEP DOWN ring adapter from ebay (free shipping somemore!), and mount it terbalik.



and to remove the star effect at lightsource in your photos, under lightroom just increase the clarity setting.

any JJC adapter ring user here????

just got my JJC hood from eBay, but the metal silver color of JJC hood seems quite different color from the body of x100....

is it true???

Cool.... looks like a trip to Subang Parade is in order.... probably sold out by now though. :-)

My JJC Hood and Adaptor look quite close to the ori color of the X100. Its not perfect but pretty close.

Yeah, that's an option, personally I don't use the hood that much, but having the hood with a 52mm cap still has a large gap with the lens, but of course 52mm cap easier to find.

Here's a picture of my JJC hood + the 49mm pinch cap.

Added on March 21, 2012, 1:45 pmNew firmware for X100 includes custom function for RAW button. WOOOHOOO! Awesome!

i see...thanks for the update info

Just upgraded to the 1.20. Nice improvement with the RAW button and the Auto ISO is now available under the Shooting menu along with the ISO setting. Just can't understand why they couldn't have integrated the activation of the Auto ISO as part of the ISO menu itself and leave the existing sub-menu just for the Auto ISO settings.

Have yet to see if there's any improvement in AF and MF.

any guide how upgrade x100 firmware??? didnt try upgrade camera firmware before ....pai seh

follow the instruction over here
