For those interested here are a few more sample images of the FZ7 with the Ricoh 200m lens. We finally had a bright day so I took a few shots over lunch. Can't wait for spring and some color.

First one is to give perspective on the close-up. This is @ 1x without the Ricoh.

Now focused on the lift bridge with the Ricoh @ 12x. Only resized and auto leveled.

This is with the Ricoh @ 1x

Great demo of the adapter, I have the FZ7 and did the Table tennis shot a while back... I've gotten better with it now. I want to get an adapter like the rich 200mm you sure did that justice.

You know a good place to pick one up? I assume you are still using the stock ring with the FZ7?

www.bhphotovideo.com is a good place to pick up new or used equipment.

Yes using the stock adapter, seeing that the Ricoh is 52mm it's a great fit. I found mine on ebay. Took a few tries but if you wait it out you'll get a decent price.

Thank you both, I will keep checking. I don't know if anyone has seen the beach cameraaccessories choices? They have 2 52mm adapters. Here is the link for the 2x 52mm. I looked for info on this company but nothing came up. Maybe you or Lady hawk know something about these.

I did see them both in a package for 68 on e-bay the wide and telephoto, but I am real nervous these are low quality items at a high price? I know the TCON 17 is about the same as beachcameras price and has many reviews. And I do have that one site tagged for the fz7 ring when it's ready in case I go for the TCON 17.

Would anyone care to throw there 2 cents in about the beachcamera lens adapters here?
