Dear Bros,

Just got my LX3 today and got some dummy questions to ask, actually I asked bro Ming but I think he's busy so rather than waiting for him to reply I might as well as post the questions here hoping any bros to enlighten.

1. What accessories should I buy after I purchased LX3? :banghead:

2. I'm thinking of UV filter, is there any that can mount directly to the lens or I need to use an adapter (46mm/52mm)? Can the original cap be used with adapter mounted?

Bro Chua, I saw your UV filter that stick directly to the lens, may I know where I can get it and pricing? If I use this kind of filter and mount an adapter with another filter, will it affect the picture quality?

3. If I use adapter, can I still use Ricoh cap? (I don't think so;)) For Ricoh cap where can I get it and how to modify it to prevent vignetting or is there any person that sell modified Ricoh cap?

4. For Raynox 250, what size of the adapter I need to use, 46mm/52mm? Better to get original Pana filter or Pandabase?

5. Do you think the hot shoe protector really necessary to have?

6. What is the compatible and cheapest flash for LX3?

Mods, please move to the right sub-forum if this is not the correct place to post. Thanks.

:cheer:
