Hi there,
I'm just about to receive my new 503cx in the mail, and I'm trying to get my accessories sorted out in the meantime. I gather that the CF 80mm has a bayonet filter fitting rather than the normal screw mount, and I have found some adapters available on eBay. Some are Bay 60 > 62mm, and some are Bay 60 > 67mm.
I was thinking that the 67mm would be more sensible to get, as in my experience it's a more common filter size, but it struck me that if I do that then lens hood may not fit. In fact, even the 62mm might obstruct it...
Can anyone tell me if this is the case? Can I use normal screw-in filters and the lens hood at the same time?
Thanks,
Lucien
