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

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!
