5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have, October 31, 2005

This is a must have item for your kodak dig. camera.
It allows for filters, tele/wide aux lenses or any 55mm screw on attachment.
Apart from that the black metal enclosure compleatly covers the entire lens assemby, at any zoom or focal length.
This adds a very strong and valuable protection to your lens.
If you accidentally bang the camera against a hard surface this adapter may very likely save your lens (camera) from destruction. I always keep it on with a skylight filter, the skylight or a UV filter further protects the lens from impact, scratches and dust. If used when the lens is not fully extended ex: wide angle to normal zoom, the adpter also helps block out stray light and acts as a light shade. Kodak aught to have this built into their camera as a permanent fixture, but alas they make extra revenue on their accessories.
Do Buy It! P.S. when using this on a model DX7590 Kodak Camera, be sure to remove the lens adapter while using the built in flash, the adapter blocks the flash and gives an unbalanced flash exposure. This is unaffected if you use an external flash unit.

The lens adapter works fine. I think there should be some link to additional lenses; that it is a must purchase when you order optional lenses. I bought a wide angle lens thinking it would fit the camera, later discovering I should have ordered the adapter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Problem using with built in flash, February 23, 2006

This adapter works well in natural light settings but doesn't work when using the built in flash on the camera. There's a design flaw that causes underexposed pics when using the flash. It is a great add on for using filters and protecting the lens otherwise.
