FZ20 - 52mm & 55mm Thread Adaptor (Part # NP2055)
The 55 adaptor is used to attach 52 or 55mm filters to the FZ20 lens. It snaps in place and provides a 52 & 55mm thread. The adaptor can be left on the camera when turning it off. The original Panasonic lens cap can still be used.
For use with filters only! Do not use with accessory lenses.
*******************
costs USD$25. theres 2 adaptors, above is for 52mm & 55mm, another for 58mm & 52mm...
there's a forum on dpreview discussing about it here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1033&message=11262590
one of the possible issues is that the adaptor seems to be mounted on the extension of the internal lens barrel itself, whereas the original adaptor is on the external barrel. correct me if i'm wrong as i dont have a fz20...yet...
