I have the same problem. I just received Canon lens adapter for Canon S3IS. It doesn't fit. There isn't any way to attach it.

You have to put your camera on manual. This adapter doesn't connect to the camera the same way an already compatible lense would.

I'm not sure, as I returned my case, it was just too cumbersome. You have to remove the part that covers the lens and then where do you put it?

Tamron included a lens hood when I bought my lens so I don't know which other one would work. You might double check to see if the lens hood is still included.

So I'm having trouble with two things.....attaching the adapter ring on to the canon sx50 camera lens along with the vivitar series one filter. I see that the uv filter screws onto the adapter ring but can't get the whole thing onto the camera lens. Can someone guide me because I don't think I'm smarter than a 5th grader.

I have a T1i and I attached the reverse mount to my lens first then attach the whole thing to my camera. I find it easier this way since it's a pretty snug fit on the lens. It should work fine with your T3i.

HiI have to check to see where I purchased the polarizer and UV filter. I believe it is AMAZON but I will check and get bak to you. As for the adaptor (I have the SX10) but it fits the SXI I purchased that at LENSMATE.com. They also sell polorizers and other accessories for this fab camera. I just took a lot of shots of autumn trees and foliage using the polarizer and they came out great. Will let you know which polorizer and UV I got.

Im confused...so will the adapter ring allow me to attach actual camera lenses, for example, a fisheye or a 52 mm lens etc etc???

Cannot give you specific answer......I contacted the seller of the conversion adapter and he sent me a new lens cap that fit......for free.

The camera does not matter, its the lens. This hood is meant to fit a 58mm lens, look at the end of your lens (the part not attached to the camera) and around the ring there should be a number indicating the lens ring diameter if it reads 58mm your good to go! Happy shooting.

Hi, as i understand the L820 has no lens thread and therefore no "official" way of adapting neither a hood nor a filter. I found a company that created a set for this: KIWIFOTOS LA-62L820T. It is in ebay though.

Make certain you have the correct millimeter size lens your new hood will fit on...as there are different sizes. You should find this info on either the outside edge or inside the lens.

How does it attach to the lens? Require an adaptor or go right on atop the UV filter on my lens?

the collar that you thread on to the filter threads is where you fit the hood on, both for reverse and photo taking positions. it doesn't work well, its very tight and i ended up not using it. i just got the canon hoods for the lens instead.

It screws onto your existing lens with the thread adapter. Will fit the sizes that are listed on the adapters but if it is smaller you will have a black ring on the image unless you use a zoom.

It took me a while to figure out, too, so hopefully this description will help you. So, the lens on the camera has a black ring around it. That has to come off in order to put the adapter on. The first time I took it off was a little hard because I was afraid of breaking it or something, but once you do it once, you'll have no problem doing it again. There should be a point on the ring that sort of juts out a little bit. You have to use that to sort of twist it off. It might help if you put a flat knife or something underneath to get a good grip, too. Just see what works for you. But once you get the black ring off, you can putt he adapter on, you just have to make sure that all the points line up with the grooves in the camera. Then it should snap into place, just the same way the black ring on the camera was. Once the adapter is on the lens just screws right in. I hope that helps...

The adapter ring has to come off of the camera in order to install any filters. It is there to protect the threads. I'm not sure, but I don't think you need to remove it to use just a lens hood.
