lens hoods

I have two Nikon Coolpix P520's. Looking for lens hoods that will work on these cameras without vignetting at wider angles and will not harm cameras. Also, looking for adapter for above cameras that will accept polarizer lens. Have already tried one that was a solid tube that used set screws to attach to camera, but it vignetted and I was told it could harm the camera (don't remember the brand). Any help appreciated.
thanks.

I am not, but this seller has 99.6% positive feedback and his price much better that Amazon's. I am buying very often on ebay and almost never had problem. Amazon has this lense hood, check it.

Thanks, MMC. Checked out the link you sent me. It's a shame Nikon does not make an adapter that works. Seems to me the mechanism causes more problems that it is worth.

Another option if you can get one to fit is one of the rubber collapsing ones. Then it is easy to collapse if you can see it when using wide angle. They are under $10.
