What's the best "lens collar" for this lens for a FZ150?

Thanks. I'm very familiar with Graham, watch his videos all the time. My question was about a collar that mounts the lens and extender to tripod. The one Graham describes is pricey. Thanks for your effort.

Check out the YouTube video by photographer Graham Houghton, very good advice.

The DMW-LA5 collar puts the DMW-LT55 lens the proper distance from the FZ150 lens. Ive used this set up and have made some great long distance shots.

You will need the DMW-LA5 lens adaptor to connect the LT55 to the FZ150. I purchased the LA7 lens adaptor to connect the LT55 and LC55 to my FZ200 and it works very well.

You need to find a 52mm to 55mm adapter (Lumix brand is DMW-LA5) to use this on your FZ150. If you can't find the Lumix brand, shop around for one that is well made, preferably made of metal, not plastic. Just make sure you don't over tighten it on either the teleconverter lens, or on your camera lens.

other web sites claim the LA 5 adapter works on the FZ40 and lets you use the two Panasonic lens and maybe a few aftermarket ones as well good luck, maybe try one in a store before you buy

The hood locks into notches on the collar - the collar is threaded, like a filter. Screw the collar onto the end of your lens (or filter), then a quarter-twist will lock the hood onto the collar. My setup is zoom lens - UV filter - collar - hood. It comes with a picture instruction flyer - not great details, but not difficult. Hope this helps. BJ

That lens is 1.5cm (about 3/4 inch) longer than this case. However it is also 1cm (about 3/8") less than filling up the full width so there's some possibility that this case just might stretch that far including a little give in the zipper. But if you don't want to risk it or don't want a tight fit, you need a case that fits at least 8cm diameter by 15cm long / alternatively a minimum of 3.5 by 6 inches.

It will absolutely fit! I picked up a Fotasy FF2B and I love it. And for any follow focus, especially if you have a lens with a small focus ring, I suggest scrapping the gear band they send you to attach to the lens, and instead just wrap the ff gear with a piece of mounting tape and fit it up against the lens focus ring directly. It's so much less bulky, and turns as smoothly as if you were focusing by hand.

Yes, if you use a step ring to adapt the size of the threads if they are not 58mm. I always buy mine from Digital Goja--inexpensive, they work perfectly, and good service. There may be some vignetting at the open (short) end of the FZ200 lens. There will be some loss of light and IQ due to the extra glass.

I use a Hoya Green Label (uncoated) 46mm UV filter purely for protection from dirt and "me". I got mine from camerafilters.com for @$10, maybe less. The main concern for me was getting one that I knew would clear the lense tunnel, as no one seemed to know what fit my FZ28 at the time. I've taken hundreds of shots just for comparison, I see no difference in image quality. I now leave it on inside and out. I prefer the uncoated, as they seem easier to clean. (A lenspen works great for the filter and lens)Edit: You do mean F"Z" 35 don't you?? You posted FX35..

Yes Thomas. The collar has a white line for lens alignment. I purchased it for my Sigma DG 150-500 1:5-6.3 APO HSM. It's durable and fit perfectly.

If FZ150 is same size as the Fz200, the case is about 1 star - overall usefulness. I have not used it even once for fz200.

check out this :"WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit - System Holder, Lens Cap and CPL Filter for the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens"Read the review, might reduce the quality. But great thing for protection since this lends does cost a fortune.

Gabor,Yes it will work with the FZ200. It snaps on so it will fit any lens from 49mm to 67mm. I have the FZ150 and it works perfectly. The lens is very good, especially for the price. If you use it with a teleconverter long lens you will need to use a focusing rail to keep the image steady.Rich

On e*b*a*y search gf1 leather case. There is one that fits on your belt with the 20mm lens. Looks interesting.

This collar is for the 70 300 L lens, I think it won't work with your lens.

I have no idea if this collar will work for your Rokinon lens. My suspicion is that it will not, as lens barrels have unique locations for controls and dimensions for focus and zoom rings. I'd suggest checking with Rokinon.

Any of the current lensbaby lineup will work, just be sure and order yours with a Nikon mount

The "EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III" isn't designed to use a lens collar at all, it has no location to fit any collar around it, and it isn't heavy enough to need one either. I have the "70-300mm F/4.0-5.6L IS USM" and that one is a heavy beast and is clearly designed for a collar, and benefits from using one. I do have the Photodiox collar for that lens and can say they do make great products for the price, assuming they claim compatibility for your lens.

With Sigma look for DG in the lens description to identify FX compatible lenses. In the case of the Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM. the letters DG are what you care about and OS (optical stabilized) for long lenses like this one. I use this lens on my D700, D800 and D80 (IR converted) with good results. Go for it. Good price and my experience is that it is a good lens.
