Another Tcon 17 question (1 Viewer)

Hi Cartman,

I received my TCON 17 today only ordered it yesterday!! It is for my FZ28 the company I got it from sent me three items 1 TCON 17, 1 adapter which says FZ18 on it and 1 adapter ring which is a 52mm which screws onto the adapter and it has a 55mm outer ring in which the TCON 17 screws into. The kit comes as one with all three bits included and it works, within a minute it was on and running. It costs £125.99 from Digital Toyshop. Check that adapter it seems to have to be a 55mm! Hope it's of some help to you.

Barry.

Hi Barry, I have ordered the 2 items listed in my 1st post, are you saying I need another adapter?

Hi Cartman, you only need the TCON & the Panasonic adapter you linked to above.

I think tho' you could do better on price if you "Googled" around a little or got lucky on Ebay.

Cheers mate, the problem was that not many shops had the adapter in stock. I did look at Ebay but they are all from Hong Kong and I need it by th eend of the so didn't want to chance it not arriving before my holiday.
