Does it works on LX5 with JJC ALC-3 For LX3?
Ricoh LC 1 and LC 2 follow the Mod which they had posted fit onto lx5 nicely
JJC ALC-3 i doubt no one has tried it before? you surely have to mod in order to fit onto lx5 anyway you may want to diy
LX5 - Ricoh LC 1 Mod - It works!!!

Did you see any lens adapter for the LX5 as well?

Hi, please note that the only accessory there for LX5 is the JJC lens cap.
Everything else wasn't there and I made a wasted trip based on your info.
The lens adapter will only arrive next month.

JJC arrived today... as my suspicion confirms, the seal isn't very well made...
I guess it'll have to do... it's way more convenient than the original lens cap... sheesh...
does anyone who owns a ricoh know if it seals better?

Hi, the Ricoh is about the same, wouldnt be much better seal compared to JJC. Dont really heard of JJC when i started doing this mod, for those who has done this mod instead of buying JJC, I think maybe because of the branding of Ricoh compared to JJC, like myself.
For the seal issue, i have added a 32mm stick-on multicoat UV filter for extra protection to the lens, so doenst really matter to me

How much and where did you get your UV filter and does it reduce your camera ISO quality?

I've noticed that LC-2 seals better than LC-1 and JJC... I'm in the midst of modding (no time, so only doing one edge a night lol) and will post results when done

from what i can see the LC-2 edges of the opening is slighty slope? so to reduce the gap
hey iRolly, did you managed to remove the lens ring? mine is super tight too
i went back and ask them help me haha.
but always rmb is anti-clock wise with the camera lens facing you.

:sweat: Sorry bro,, I saw a rack section state LX-5 with a few items hanging.
About to take a look and my friends call me for some other things.
Shaving the plastic bits off the ricoh lens cap is not easy indeed.
started out with a penknife but ended up making a lot of cuts to the cap on the surrounding edges.
gonna pick up some sandpaper to smooth out the rough bits
just to clarify, after all this is done, the cap isn't screwed on to the lens ring right?
kinda forced on to the lens ring?? thanks
