For those of you that have been waiting for a 62mm adapter from Xume they have just released their 62mm for pre-order at 10% savings. Tentatively shipping around 1-7-15.

Indeed a shame that many small and bridge cameras do not come with threads; probably reasonable considering the abuse some would subject the lens extension mechanism to. Of course my DSLR lenses are equipped, but my 24/7 is not. My previous Panasonic ZS20 ** and my present Sony HX50v have no threads, they are flat with fragile shutter like metal leaves "protecting?" the lens at shut down.

Xume does not sell a 37mm, the size of he lens tube on many small cameras. I used a female half of a lens cap (caps EBay $5) hole drill cut to match the lens opening. This mod cap accepts the filter. The mod cap is coupled to the camera using magnetic card stock from Walmart craft section ($2/2 8x10 sheets) Orientation is important... cut in same direction for both the part attached to the camera and the filter... you will feel the orientation when correct.

**This approach is a refinement on my original approach for the ZS20

My hat is off to salute Xume for a needed product. For the 24/7 camera owners, my mod-cap works fine.

Thank you, ceh1024, for the link:

Halleluiah and pass the potatoes, I've been waiting for over a year for Xume to put out a 67mm for my Sigma 18-250mm, I'm going to order what I need now. Thanks for the "heads up" and Merry Christmas!
