If not mistaken, the 33 months warranty promo is until 31 May and not end of april.

yaya end of may

its lucky i didnt registered online when i bought my cam b4 this promo launch. that time it has only 12+12, after i saw the promo i quickly register and now i got 12+21

aiyoh. I just need the lens minus the adapter. D: nevermind if any luck then count me in. Kinda itchy for fisheye lens.

Ya - sorry my mistake. Thought is end of this month..

Guys and gal..

After i've purchased few "add on",i finally found it is all waste of money..(at least for me it is, may be i do not know how to use it)..i would like to share some exprience on it for your reference.

I 've got a lens tube (from ebay), PL-Filter (Hoya), UV filter(from ebay), Macro filter +1 +2 +4 +10 (from ebay), and also a newly purchase telephoto lens 2X (from ebay).

The main objective that i got a lens tube with UV filter was because i dropped my camera and spoiled the leica lens last year, during my trip. However, my curiosity pushes me buy more and more filters for more effects.

First,lens tube. Mine is a third party 52mm lens tube from ebay, which i got info from here that 46mm is not common. When i take photo with this lens tube attached (especialy with flash,upon is not bright enough for some photo), there is some "shade" on the right..i tried several method of taking photo and this "shade" is still there. I tot is my hand which is blocking the flash, but i finally found is this lens tube..it will block the flash in certain point of view and shows the "shade" in the photo...

secondly, 52mm UV filter. Also it is from ebay.I know i am buy cheap stuff which causes some sort of "malfunction" of photos, but it really does happen to expensive UV filter as well. I notice that, when i take photo with UV filter it will reflects the light in between "leica lens and UV filter".. i am not so sure and not pro on it..but i see when i attach this UV filter to take photo and face the sunlight, you will see that the upper side of the photo will become "white and blur"..if you ask me, is this UV filter coated..yes it is. Inner and outer coated if according to ebay selling info.

Hoya PL-filter 52mm - It is the most satisfy product among all the i've bought. Saturation of colors is great when deal with white cloud and blue skies. Also it help me to reduce the reflection of waters when i want to take photo of fishes in the pond & etc.... But if for color Saturation, i think vibrant mode will help instead of buying PL-filter.

52mm Macro filter + 1 +2 +4 +10 - It is product from ebay as well. I found that it can be a bit "more detail" when attached with these filters on macro shooting. But, the surrounding of the photo will be "blur" and the color of the details is totally out! Besides that, these different magnifications dont make any difference for me..may be i am dumb and dont know how to use it..

52 mm telephoto lens 2X - Ebay item which takes me more than one month to get the product due to stupid paypal needs further info from me even with the verification done. I've just got it and after i tried, i was shocked! I need to zoom in the max (i've off my digital zoom, so the max for me is 2.5X on the camera itself), else i will be seeing the "surrounding" of the lens tube and telephoto lens within the screen!! No doubt after attach with this lens and zoom to the max i can double the size of the image i want to shoot but the quality of photo after zoom...is kind of dissapointing..details will be blur and quality also dropped....

In conclusion, i dont recommend LX3 users to buy these filters and lens from Ebay....For the moment, only the Hoya PL-filter hasnt fail me,but how frequent that i will use PL-filter?..other products....sigh...

i think the best effect of photos from LX3, is without any filters/lens...

Due to all these,i dont think i will be buying a wide angle or fish eye... better i save $ for DSLR...

guys and gals, if there are any solution for those "disadvantages" that i mentioned, plz do advice...thanks...

When using tube / lens its better to use external flash instead of the built in flash since it is not strategically placed. Dslr-s position their flash on the center of the camera where lx3 was on the left. Since the position of the flash like that definitely it'll cause a shade when the flash fired. I dont know if the original panasonic tube and wide angle lens overcome this problem.

Solution? a) (expensive) get an external flash. b)play around with iso/shutter speed/aperture

I also have a telephoto lens. Will try shot a few pictars and upload it for comparison.

damn i miss my lx-3!!!

Ppsprov,

The items which u had a bad experience, is it the Pandabase brand from eBay?

Put a Mister potato cover to block between the tube and flash, will fix the 'shadow'
