Does the adapter for the 77mm fit too snug? Are the pieces made of glass or plastic?

Just bought this kit a month ago for my 58mm. It has assorted adapters for different Len sizes. They are plastic though.

I have used my 77mm adapter and it fit perfectly......the adapters are metal all other parts are plastic...

the pieces are made of plastic, The adapters did not fit too snug for me, but I only used the 50mm

I haven't personally used the 77mm adapter but all the others I've used have fit perfectly. All of the pieces including the filters are plastic.

I got the "silver" one because it's steel. The other may be aluminum. I don't know. My adapter was well made and fit my Canon 5D MkII and the lens, a Helios 58mm f2.0.

The adapter ring can be a little tough, I thought that mine was too big also, you just have to play with it and line it up just right, once you get the treads started it's going to fit tight but you just screw it on, once installed, install you polarizer filter and then the end cap for it, I ordered a circular polarizer for mine but did have the same kit as you do, good luck !Michael

The adapter ring attaches to your lens and then the filter holder attaches to the adapter. There are multiple adapter rings to fit most lens sizes. As an example, if your lens is 67mm, you use the 67mm ring, then the semi-square pieces slides on to it. This piece holds up to 3 filters for stacking.

The diameter of lens matters, I was able to purchase an adapter for a couple if bucks. Works great!

Hi, Where can I find this adapter, who makes it, model number, and how much does it cost? Does it use a glass element?thanks,

There is no glass inside this adapter, it is all metal. I have used it to adapt a rokinon lens to my panasonic G-1 4/3rds camera and it works perfectly.

Sorry Keith and Kenneth, you are both incorrect, I have the S1 in front of me and there clearly are threads on the front of the lens, in fact the furnished lens cap snaps into those threads. Fuji just wants us to buy their expensive adapter requiring an expensive 72mm filter. Measuring the threads they appear to be 53.5 or 54mm I don't have a precision caliper but a 52mm is slightly too small and a 55mm is slightly too large. 53.5mm & 54mm adapters are rare so I am convinced Fuji deliberately did this to discourage one from just buying a regular filter.

Yes - it goes by the filter diameter size, this fits any 67mm lens or Len adapter.

The adapter is made of metal. I will have to measure it tomorrow. It fits easily between the the lenses and screws into the threaded bolt the holds the lenses together at the pivot point. If the screw that attaches the mount to the binoculars was a couple of threads longer would make the mounting better.

The reason they put glass in some of the adapters is because otherwise you cannot focus to infinity. If the focal plane distance in your camera is short enough to accommodate the adapter, they would not put the glass in and the image would be as good as the original lens. I never buy adapter with glass in it. You defeat the purpose of adapting a first rate lens.

Hi, though the adapter should work fine I would recommend purchasing one of higher quality; I bought this adapter and after about four months of relatively heavy use it started to fall apart. Specifically, the locking mechanism on the lens to adapter side sometimes disengages and the adapter ring has now begun to separate into two parts, the result of which is that the lens can sit at an angle from the camera body if not propped up with a finger. However, if you're looking to save money the latter problem could possibly be remedied by using a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, though I'm not sure as I have not yet tried.

As far as I know, there is no threading, at least in the one I got about three years ago. The outside diameter is about 69mm, and it has no threads. I saw a mod by a German guy on YouTube and I did the same. I bought a 72mm rubber lens hood, removed the rubber part and kept the plastic ring. Then I wrapped some electrician's tape around the lens, so I could fit the&#65279; plastic ring on it without any glue: I just pressed and turned the ring, and it got stuck pretty tightly. Now I can use a 72mm UV or polarizing filter.&#65279;

Sorry, I don't have one. Also am somewhat annoyed by not having one that fits a 77mm lens, but just stuffing some folded paper between the light and the lens does the trick.If you are not a purist and am open to improvisation, try sticking the light to a piece of cardboard cut to fit snuggly around the lens-- that might even get the bug, or whatever it is you are shooting to smile.

You will likely need an adapter. I had to have one to allow me to fit it on my 24-70 lens which takes a 77mm filter.

The adapter is made of some type of metal. Not sure about the rest of the question. It fits any standard binoculars. I'm very happy with purchase. I'm glad that I did not go with the plastic cheaper one.
