New member seeking equipment help (1 Viewer)

Hi All,

Great forum, I'm really impressed. And I need assistance--I just bought an Olympus TCON 17 to use with my ancient FZ20. What I thought would be an easy task of locating a 72-55mm step down ring is proving v difficult. I've emailed the manufacturer of the PA55h adapter, but so far no response. Used equipment sites and local (SF Bay Area stores) have turned up nada. Any suggestions? Anyone know of a used one for sale? I need one by Jun 30 for a birding trip!! Many thanks for your consideration....

You may need to do it in two steps. 72-62 then 62-55 for example. Or alternatively http://www.adorama.com/FLD7255.html

Still in regular use by my wife the FZ20+Tcon-17 using the PA55 and step rings.

Many moons ago I got mine from Photosolve based in the USA - check this link - http://www.photosolve.com/main/product/rings/ring_conv.html. Postage to the UK took just 3 days from date of order!

You need a 72-62mm step down ring and a 62-55mm thread converter.

Thanks for the advice...ordered the 2 rings from Pemaraal this morning. Much appreciated!
