(I'll be very thankful if someone explain me this diameter dilemma in easy language.)I was told that I need to buy Panasonic DMW-LA3 lens adapter so that I can use T-CON 17 teleconverter with my camera.I've searched a lot, asked to many distributors, but no one has this DMW-LA3 lens adapter in India.Then I came to know about its alternative PA62E Adapter (62mm) made by Pemaraal.[CODE]http://pemaraal.com/index.php?page=fz18ac#[/CODE]But as it is a 62mm adapter, I needed to buy a 62mm to 55mm step-down ring.I've Ordered PA62E Adapter (62mm) + 62mm to 55mm step-down ring and now I'm finally going to buy T-CON 17 teleconverter.This whole thing cost me 6743 Rs./- only.$55 for PA62E and 62mm to 55mm stepdown ring + 4,200 Rs. for T-CON 17.Is this what all I need to use T-CON 17 with my FZ18 ?Or is there anything I'm missing out ?</blockquote>
