>>100, second hand, u can get cheaper for those non-brand one
i think non-branded one is ok, since only adaptor ma.


>>where ur place? if wan me to help, i would like to take stock for u to earn some transport $
me in kuantan phg. if got sifu help me then better. u in kl ?

i hv the ori panasonic adaptor that comes along in the box, but it is too long, too big (can hold a 72mm filter). when using the pop-up flash, this adaptor cause bayang-bayang of the adaptor on photos with near objects.

if I can get an adaptor which holds 62mm filter (protruding lens outer diameter is 60mm+/-1mm) , and not too long, adding a 62mm UV filter ngam ngam until lens fully extended, then it may/will solve the bayang-bayang problem.

am I asking too much for a simple adaptor?

hopefully not too expensive too.

tongyam,

i hv given up hope looking for adaptor for my fz20.

i hv started diy project, and it is about 70% done. (took me about 2 hours to reach this stage, including time for buying the material)

now just need to paint it black and get a 62mm UV filter to fix it up.

And thank you a lot for the offer to source adaptor for me. I appreciate it very much.

diy? mind to share the progress? interested

no problem, about the adaptor, no shop have stock currently

no prob sharing.

material:
1 x Selley polymer repair system
1 x black paint (spray can)
1 x super glue
(optional) 1 x 2 ton epoxy
(optional) some first aid cotton gauze roll
some grease
some tape
and not forgetting 62mm UV filter

DIY steps:
1. use black paint spray can cover as adaptor drum (just nice at 61mm diameter to fit nicely on the outer lens body of FZ20)

2. cut away the top part of spray can cover, leaving a hollow cylinder (about 25mm long)

3. stick tape on the front part of manual focus ring (the part with 3 screws exposed after removing the front adaptor ring cover). apply a thick layer about 0.5mm (to prevent polymer sticking on to this surface)

4. apply some grease on the tape and ring thread on the FZ20 body (to prevent polymer sticking on to these surface)

5. place hollow spray can cylinder onto the FZ20 body just before covering the thread on the body

6. apply Selley polymer repair system along the FZ20 body thread and spray can cylinder (this will become the threaded ring to later screw and unscrew the adaptor)

7. after about 20~30 minutes of apply Selley polymer repair system, the polymer becomes quite hard but still can be cut by a blade. cut the polymer ring in 2 equal parts to so as to remove it from the FZ20 body. (I find it almost impossible to remove it by unscrewing)

8. put the 2 part polymer ring back together with the spray can cylinder and screw it back to the FZ20, then stick the 3 parts together with tape temporarily.

9. leave the thing to cure for 24 hours.

10. apply super glue/2 ton epoxy to permanently stick the 2 part polymer ring and the spray can cylinder together. (be careful to make sure the cylinder is straight out, not slunting to one side)

11. (do this step if you think the plastic spray can cylinder is too soft) rough the outer surface of the spray can cylinder. Cover the ourter surface of spray can cylinder with cotton gauze and apply 2 ton epoxy over it. leave it cure for 24 hours

12. spray the entire adaptor black in and out.

13. finally, glue the UV filter permanently onto the spray can cylinder (or use the extra Selley polymer repair system to make another thread for the filter but very difficult)


my progress:
I m now at stage 9. and the polymer ring is very smooth and screw on the FZ20 firmly.
I will do step 11.

nice one!! got any link to refer?
