5.0 out of 5 stars Good Protection for Lens, February 2, 2009

Even if you don't buy this to use different filters, consider getting it and a 46mm UV filter just to protect your expensive lens at all times. If the lens cap gets knocked off, the worst that can happen is you get dust on your filter. If you're hard on your cameras, this is a must-have. [No I /can't/ justify the price for this small tube.]

5.0 out of 5 stars The missing part for your Leica D-Lux 4 or Panasonic LX3, September 25, 2009

For the two dollars it probably cost to manufacture this part, it should have been included with these cameras. Anyway, you should get this to protect and enhance your lens. These two cameras are unique in their capabilities. With this, you can do even more - go really wide angle or use filters to get more of the effect you want without photoshopping each frame. Worth the high price that makes a system camera out of these little point and shoots. Another useful bit of kit is the Metz AF48 flash for olympus, panasonic, and leica. Also expensive but worth it. Costs about the same as the Panasonic flash but has more power. Go light, be quick, get the shot!

It will also fit the Leica D-Lux 4. There's a ring around the camera lens that is removed and this conversion tube, treaded on both ends, will replace the ring. This tube will take 46mm filters and is deep enough to allow the lens to move in and out. I didn't notice any vignetting. Of course, with this conversion tube attached, the really cool camera case can't be used. You'll have to do what you used to do with your SLR -- in-the-field accessory swapping.
