Does anyone have a recommendation for a bayonet to standard adapter to protect the exposed side of the lens?

Be careful ! I just purchased a bayonet-to-standard filter thread adapter to allow me to protect the open end of my lens ( It is a 105mm Series E ); and fit a filter on this. I now find that it is jammed on and I cannot remove it ! If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful ? Phil A

Yes, it does. This securely connects to the camera by the 3-leaf bayonette mount under the camera's protective ring. The outer end of this KIWI tube has an internal 52mm thread which accepts the external 52mm thread of the added WA lens. Also, this adapter provides just enough space that, if you extend/zoom the LX7 lens all the way by accident (you should NOT want to zoom out with a wide angle lens attached anyway - defeats the purpose of WA course), it will not cause the WA glass pupil to impact the (much more valuable) camera lens. But check yours just in case of slight variation. Best to be safe.

A bayonet mount tulip lens hood is furnished with this lens. If you a purchasing an aftermarket lens hood, DO NOT purchase a screw mount hood (they're called screw mount for a reason).

Dear John;I am going to modify my statement slightly. I have four different cameras and buy a great amount of attachments for them and may have bought the adapters separately. I frequently switch eye pieces etc from one to another I do not want to worry about if it is the exact one for the camera and so have many adapters for a verity of attachments.I still believe you will not have any problem.Randy

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

I'm looking for a case myself. Panasonic makes an old school leather case (DMW-CGB1 for the body and DMW-CGL1 for the part that wraps around the lens), which is kind of nice. JapanExposures sells a handmade version, but it just covers the body, not the lens. I've also looked at that custom leatherette textured covering, which might add a little protection. But I'm not super jeeped about any of those. Still looking...

It did not work for me unfortunately, there is not enough adhesive to hold the the ARMOR to the lens. my camera did not have the filter adapter, so I do not know if it fits over the adapter or not,sorry.

My model is slightly different but there should be a round button on the side that secures the lens in place. You slide this away from the lens and twist the lens to the left to disengage the bayonet.

your right, it is a tight space as a matter of fact the lenses can't adjust to the closest position with the adapter in.Also I can only thread the adapter in about one thread. Have not used it for these reasons. You might go to a store and tryit first hand.

As far as I know a Canon mount is the same for all their SLR's so this lens would go on the bayonett. The proviso would be if the camera is a full frame camera. This isn't my specialty, but if the camera is full frame, then it changes the aspect ratio. The best answer would be to check with Canon and/or Tamron. The Tamron lens is incredible. This is my third Tamaron, and they just are the best "carry around" and 'do everything' lens you can buy.

I could not find the filter size in any of the Canon documentation. On a forum I read it is a bayonet mount, which means you need a converter to fit filters.The converter I found - which support my initial idea it has not filter thread, but bayonet: Filter Adapter FA-DC67A (Compatible with Canon 67mm Filters: Circular Polarizing PL-C B, Protect Filter).So with this bayonet-to-filter adapter you can use 67 mm filters. The adapter costs 22 USD at Adorama; 26.50 USD on Amazon, but you can buy a fake one of Bower:Lens Tube Adapter 67mm for Canon PowerShot SX520 HS SX60 HS SX50 HS SX40 HS SX30 IS SX20 IS SX10 IS SX1 ISI would go for the Bower and then add a nice 67 mm UV and a 67 mm polarizing filter (if you like punchy blue skies).

You can get a P89 thread adaptor at www.nextphoto.net. Works loke a charm. I used the 52 mm adaptor. then you get a standard UV filter. T. Preston

I don't know about that. But I have not liked the way it fits over the lens. Wish Nikolai would have made the camera lens in a way that you could put a protective lens over it without the adapter. If I have thought about this I would not have purchased this for my 12 year old photographer.

Hi Soozie. The adaptor ring does not screw into the lens on the SX50. It is a bayonet mount that fits around the outside of the barrel. Look closely at the bayonet fitting of the adapter to see where the spaces are. Next, check the bayonet fitting around the exterior of the lens barrel. Now adjust the position of the adaptor so it lines up with the openings of the bayonet around the lens. With a slight bit of pressure, push down (towards the camera) on the adapter and turn clockwise. The adapter will almost snap into place as it fits into position. Once in place it is a secure fit with just a slight bit of play. The adaptor will not come off till you again use downward pressure and rotate counter clockwise. If you have tried this and it didn't seem to work, it is probably because you didn't turn it far enough to the right. It is a pretty tight fit till it snaps into place. Once you have the adaptor in place I'd suggest attaching the UV filter and then screw on the rubber hood to the filter. Just leave these on all the time. Collapse the hood all the way and snap on the lens cap directly to the hood. This set up gives great protection to the lens. You will need to collapsed the hood all the way to prevent vignette with the lens in the wide angle position. I prefer to not use the lanyard that attaches the lens cap to the camera. The cap dangling from the lanyard always seems to be in the way, and on a tripod the cap will be knocking against the metal... Very irritating when working with wildlife. Don't stack the filters. Use one at a time. This will give better image quality and will reduce chances of vignette in the corners.

the adapter ring has a thin strip of plastic that reveals a glue surface that permanently attaches to your camer. the ring contains a thread into which you screw the filters etc. for my purposes, the filters and lens hood seemed to obstruct the lens at wide angle depts and i was not crazy about the permanent gluing of the adapter ring to the lens, so i removed the equipment and have not used it.

I believe the GL 2 has a bayonet mount option. And opteka does make a bayonet mount ti series lens. But if you are talking about the screw mount (the one I just ordered is a 58mm screw mount.) I have a sony vx2000 that has 58mm threads on the lens and also has a bayonet mount. I personally like the screw better it is more stable and can be mounted on any camera with a step up ring. I also have a sony trv900 which has a 52mm thread on the lens(52mm thread is the same as thread as the vx1000) you said your camera has 55mm so you will need a 55 to 58mm step up ring. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL ORDERING THIS ONLINE. IT'S HARD TO KNOW THE QUALITY. THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS FOR POORLY MADE THREADS TO LOCK UP AND BECOME STUCK TO THE LENS/FILTER/EXTENSION RING. If you know anything about cameras you should be ok. Just do your research and read reviews. IF NOT, GO TO A LOCAL CAMERA SHOP AND GET THEM TO HELP YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE WITH SUCH A NICE LENS. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS LEAVE YOUR LENS CAP ON WHILE THREADING THE LENS ON TO THE CAMERA. IF YOU DROP IT IT WILL ONLY SCRATCH THE CAP NOT THE LENS. I hope this helps.

The kit includes adapter rings for most popular-sized lenses. You should have no problems. Just screw it on as you would a filter, attach the filter holder, and slide in the square filter you want to use.
