i was about to collect my LX3 from panasonic customer service yesterday (reject to repair due to the price is damn high..askme change the whole lens..bout 600-700)...

before that, i went to pos office to get my road tax done..
the friendly pos office staff was asking me either i wan to claim the petrol subsidy RM 625...

eventually this RM 625 has become my repair fund for my broken lx3...

government sponsor it...

anyway..i wan to get a UV filter or the ricoh lens cap to protect the lens part...

where i can get it and anyone can tell me the price please?

Here is some image frommy korea trip last year。。。where my LX3 was fallen and spoiled..

Some of the photo was taken, after the fall...

did u use the lens cleaning kit?
normally there are few stuff incide the kit..

blower, a little piece of microfiber cloth, cotton swabs,lens cleaning paper and a bottle of chemical water to clean the lense..

follow the instruction from the kit, i think it helps..(but normally i dun apply the chemical stuff on the lens, it might harmful to lens i heard)

RM 35 per set at lowyat..hehehe..

Added on February 1, 2009, 8:16 pmBro..i think vignet is the main issue if we put in the lens adaptor/filter..
no matter what size it is...

my freind also told me the same thing....he say...unelss i buy an expensive filter..it might decrease the issue but it will not stop it from happening.

I am yet to get the adaptor kit ..will post up some photo once i got it..

i bought my LX3 original battery cost RM140! And that is the cheapest price i got after i research from Sg Wang, Lowyat and BTS.
No warranty some more on the original battery! But if u r buying compatible battery there is warranty 3 months..wat a joke..

there is some quality compatible battery..visit here:

www.sabahoceanic.com/

BTS= Berjaya time square la...

Sg Wang - i ask Boeing , they quote me RM199
Low yat - Bintang Maju - RM 140
Low Yat - Fotokem - RM 190
BTS - MyCamera.com - RM 180

yeah. all shop also told me the samething. no warranty for original battery.

Where else i can get this screen protector..
i prefer to get it perosnally...
anyone know this stuff available in low yat or Sg wang?

Some one in this post told me and i've verify with Panasonic malaysia , Midvalley key colors can get the accesories.
But is is not cheap buddy..
A CPL cost RM 300 ++


Here is the price list Panasonic malaysia mail to me earlier..

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

May be, you can get it from Ebay instead..
i just bought a lens adaptor (52mm) with UV filter (52mm) and lens cap from Ebay. A HK seller...RM 74.

CPL i might buy when my camera comes back (send for repair, lens broken.. )...
