Look at what the mail man dropped into my mail box?









Was a bit worried the package might not arrive by this week....
But luckily it did~!

PCHo, how much you bought it?
Did u tried to put the UV and CPL together and see any vignetting?

I am having silver color LX3 too with the black lens tube. At first i feel it looks weird. but afterall i am ok with it..

I am also interested on Telephoto lens and wanted to buy from ebay..since i feel the "zoom" of Lx3 is not enuff..
anyone tested before? Appreciate on the advise if any...

Hi LX3 user,



Here's a description of acessories quoted from

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&...5y2my4kFqeGRZgQ

Description:-

What you see..... what you get....

1. 0.45X Wide-Angle Lens (Built in macro lens)

2. 2.0X Tele-Photo Lens

3. 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.

I got it for roughly USD26+.
So that translates to about ~RM90 right?

Black ext tube + silver LX3 didn't look as bad as I thought it would be also

Haven't tried them, so no comments yet.
The few shots I tried in my room did not yield any results as far as the polarizer goes.....maybe I dunno how to use...

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 $...

hey guys, silly me, i bought the lx-3 like a few months back without realizing i need to update the firmware. mine is currently on 1.0 and am wondering will it be ok if i skip 1.1 to update 1.2?
