Ultraviolet UV Filter Improves contrast and color saturation by reducing the effects of ultraviolet light and atmospheric dust and haze in sunny landscapes, including mountain, marine and aerial scenes. Can be used in combination with polarizer for stunning scenics, or to protect the front lens element from dirt, fingerprints, and scratches 4. Polarizer PL Filter Increases color saturation and contrast by reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces and by cutting through haze. Deepens sky color. Generally requires through-the-lens viewing 5. Diffusion DIF Filter Softens highlights and hard edges for flattering portraits, smoothing out textures, blemishes, and lines. 6. Macro Close up Filter This item is for owners of any Lens. This item is great for taking close up pictures, it allows you focus in really close to things like insects, coins, etc. 7. Camera Case 8. Lens cleaning cloth 9. Adaptor Tube This aluminum adapter can screws onto the front of a Digital Camera easily and allow you screw-on lenses or filters. Having this adapter you can enhance the image quality and give extra protect on lenses Good Luck P.S. Lenses & Filters (Made in Japan) this thread in ebay is showing a series of lens+filter selling at RM200+ including postage. Do u think all these acessories differ much from the original Panasonic Lens? THe price are much lower, in terms of quality ..i m not sure. Can u guys give me any advice? Thank you. hehehe...u posted for twice..think you must be very despreate... I am using a third party UV filter + Lens tube...(bought from ebay, unknown brand..)..cost me bout RM 70.. Tried to attach it together with Hoya CPL...so far is ok.... i think the deal u found in ebay is cheap...and it is far away too cheap from any other filter/lens...i am doubt bout its quality... For me..i will not think of ori parts from Panasonic..a CPL 46mm already cost RM 300 ++...darn...i can buy a Hoya Pro CPL plus a normal UV filter oledi by using that $...

Here is some price which Panasonic dealers quote me (ori parts,and this is the price before YEN goes up ): Panasonic DMW-LW46 (RM 629.00) Wide Conversion Lens Panasonic DMW-LND46 (RM 90.00) ND Filter Panasonic DMW-LPL46 (RM 330.00) PL Filter Panasonic DMW-LMC46 (RM 80.00) MC Protector Panasonic DMW-LA4 (RM 109.00) Conversion Lens Adaptor Eventually i bought my lens adaptor, UV filter from Ebay and CPL from Pudu plaza YL camera shop. All 52mm, cause its more common and might able to use in some of the DSLR. These are advise from Sifu here . Total price is less than RM200..heheheh... May be going to buy a telephoto lens too..heheheh..Rm 120++ if convert USD to MYR Ps: dude...all these has been posted earlier la...you may get more info from V2 and V1 LX3 post...:-P This post has been edited by Ppsprov: Mar 19 2009, 06:39 AM

Getting Started Junior Member 93 posts Joined: Feb 2005	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...

Getting Started Junior Member 93 posts Joined: Feb 2005	QUOTE(Uzumaki NaruTo @ Apr 21 2009, 09:40 AM) 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. Yeah. I think the problem also comes because of the flash is at the right and it is not powerful enuff (since this is a compact cam,cant expect to control the power of the flash). Anyway, play around with iso/shutter speed/aperture ...means to prevent using flash?

Added on April 21, 2009, 9:08 pm QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Apr 21 2009, 12:02 PM) @Ppsprov Wow...In the 1st place, I think you should just buy the stuff you need, not you want. Since you already buy those stuff, may as well sell it back.... heheh...nvm...i've just think that i have paid for some lesson which will not learn from classes...
