Hello all,
I have the Panasonic Lumix FZ50 and recently bought the Nikon Tce-15ed 1.5x teleconverter. However, since my camera is 55mm and the rear thread of the teleconveter is 50mm, I'm told I need a 55-50 step down ring. Problem is, I cannot find one! Nextphoto.net offers them, but currently are out of stock. I emailed them yesterday and am still waiting for a response. Is there anywhere else I can get this type of ring? What's the good of having the quality teleconverter if I can't use it? Ahhhh!

You may need to stack rings, unless you know a machinist who owes you a favor.
