Which adaptor tube and why?

[DomCotton]

Hi,

I want to use filters with my S602. I have looked at adaptor tubes and found there are many different sizes: all are 55mm at the barrel end but at the other end the width varies. Is there a standard? Should it stay the same (55 - 55) or maybe increase or decrease?

Can anybody tell me what the best way to go is. I suppose it depends if there is a standard size for attachments??

Hoping somebody can help.

Hello Dom,

The following site may be of interest: http://www.camerafilters.com/pages/a...tubesfuji.aspx

I would recommend you to either remain with the 55/55mm adapter tube or see if you can get one that offers 55/58mm for attaching filters, additional lenses, etc.

I may be wrong but I think you will find more goodies available with a 58mm diameter than 55mm. Taking it the other way i.e. less than 55mm will most probably cause considerable vignetting to occur.

Good luck!

Try to get one that is 55mm both ends.If you get smaller,you will have to get a step down ring, if you go bigger you have to get a step up ring.Going smaller causes vignetting problems.Hope this helps.
