Carry Speed - Magfilter Filteradapter - 52 mm - Compact Equipment - Compatible with Sony RX100/HX10/HX20/HX30V

Gracias al imán que pegamos en la óptica el agarre del adaptador es muy elevado. Eso sí, hay que tener en cuenta que si le damos un golpe o cerramos la óptica y metemos el dedo haremos saltar el adaptador con el posible riesgo de perderlo. Lo uso para ponerle un filtro ND1000 y jugar con largas exposiciones. Gracias a la rosca podemos tener un par de filtros puestos.

Suite a l'achat d'un appareil d'occasion, son vendeur m'a conseillé cet article qu'il désirait conserver. Je comprend pourquoi, c'est super pratique, L'appareil dans la poche et son filtre toujours avec moi à la ceinture.Je recommande.

good quality but took forever to get it

I recently purchased a Sony RX100 compact camera from Amazon for my bicycle touring adventures. Because I take so many pictures and video outdoors, the conditions require a polarizing filter for undesirable glare from non-metallic surfaces (such as reflected sunlight and/or glare from water, fields heavy-laden with dew, road surfaces, glass, etc.) and a variable ND (neutral density) filter for video in strong direct sunlight on the subject. However, the Sony RX100 body/lens does not provide female threads to adapt filters. Ugh! So, I also purchased from Amazon a THREADED MagFilter (from Carry Speed) 52mm adapter for my Sony RX100 and screwed my Nikon 52mm polarizing or Genus ND filter on it. The compatibility of these wedded products yielded an ideal match with beautiful results, both for still and video captures. The MegFilter's kit comes with a carrying pouch (with belt clip), two metal adhesive rings, and the MagFilter's main adapter body. The adhesive metal ring is easily attached to the Sony RX100's body (see the Carry Speed Mag Filter's video how to do it). Purchase includes two of these metal rings. One of them is a spare or to apply to another camera. The adhesive metal ring is very thin, and when applied correctly, you will not even know that it is an add-on. Next, the MagFilter's main adapter body attaches to the metal ring by strong magnets built into the MagFilter adapter body. Then one simply screws the filter of their choice into the MagFilter's main adapter body. When I shoot indoors, I simply place a 52mm lens cap on my filter and store the entire ensemble in the MegFilter's carrying pouch for safekeeping. You cannot get it much easier than that! I mentioned beforehand that I use the Nikon 52mm circular polarizing filter (also purchased from Amazon in February 2011). It is thinner and weighs less than that of its main competitor, the Hoya HRT 52mm polarizing filter, which I also own. Both polarizing filters are very good; however, the Nikon polarizing filter contrasts and saturates colors a little (emphasis on "little") more in conjunction with the Sony RX100 camera. Results may vary depending on which camera is used with which filter. For example, I cannot see a noticeable difference under ideal conditions between the Hoya and the Nikon 52mm polarizing filters mounted on my Nikon D7000. The biggest difference I have detected between these two polarizing filters is when I am trying to capture a landscape with haze or lingering light fog with the Sony RX100 or Nikon D7000. The Nikon polarizing filter wins every time. The filter allows sharper detail in the landscape by effectively removing reflecting light from the haze or fog without making the precious image appear flat. Thus, the pictures are richer and betray greater depth. I have not yet tested extensively the Genus GL GNDF-52 ND 52 mm circular filter to offer an informed opinion. However, I will say that when I shoot outdoor video in very strong sunlight (taking in account other factors such as desired depth of field and/or the sunlight's angle on the subject), I exclusively use the Genus ND filter and NOT the Nikon polarizing filter. So, if you have purchased a compact camera like the Sony RX100 that lacks native filter adaptability, then I cannot recommend more highly than the THREADED MagFilter. Also, do not forget to purchase an extra lens cap if you will simultaneously be using different filters on several cameras like I do. The MagFilter Threaded Adapter is available in different sizes for different cameras. For example one would purchase the 49mm for the popular Canon Powershot S95/S100/S110), the 52mm/55mm/58mm sizes for the Sony RX100/HX9V/HX20V/HX30V compact cameras, as well as for the Canon G12 and Canon G15 cameras. I already had a 52mm Nikon polarizing filter (as well as other 52mm filters) for my Nikon D7000, so it was a simple choice for me to purchase the 52mm MagFilter for the Sony RX100.

I read lots of reviews before buying this adaptor mostly good but some not so. I understand the range of opinions now that I've used it but overall I love it. It's easy to fit, although a centralising tool like that supplied with the Sony filter would help, and it does the job very well. I now use a 10 stop ND filter on my RX100m3 and I'm delighted with the results. I've also bought a polarising filter but I haven't used it yet. The filter attaches easily and for straightforward shooting sessions it's great - simple to put on, use, take off and easy to carry around. I can understand why people might not be keen on leaving it on the camera for long periods. I found that whenever you switch the camera off the lens retracts and any filter attached to the adaptor falls off. I quickly learned to take the adaptor off the camera before switching the camera off so this is no longer a problem for me. It's easy to slip back on when I need it again. The magnetic ring which stays on the camera permanently is tiny and hardly noticeable and I quite like the carrying case that comes with the adaptor - though it could do with being a bit bigger to allow the adaptor with an attached filter to fit more easily.
