Hello,

If anyone has this lens could they tell me the thread size that connects to the lens adapter / camera. I would like to see if it is possible to use on my Lumix FZ28.

Best Regards

It's 28mm - the front thread size of the Coolpix 995, etc.

I had one, very high quality.
Seem to remember one was almost given away in the for sale forum a couple of years ago.... think they were about £120 or more new.

Has anyone used this lens with an FZ28 ? I wonder at what magnification the vignetting disappears...

I agree with Andy about the quality of this lens. However, it is not suitable for a pana superzoom: handholding it up in front of my FZ18, there is no zoom at which the vignetting disappear and at somewhat close to max zoom, the camera is not able to focus.

I tried this lens in front of one of the newer nikon coolpix cameras (5100 I think it was) at work some time ago and was very disappointed in the ability of that camera to focus through the lens (the camera did have a 28 mm front thread).
