bdazel 0 #1 April 19, 2009 Lost my 3032. The ring stayed with the camera, but the lens popped right out as I climbed out of the caravan. I don't remember banging it on anything, but there must have been impact on something. I managed to save the student's video and pics by backing up a bit in freefall, then cropping the photos a bit with Lightroom. I guess I should have listened when someone said "don't use a plastic step-down ring" a while back. Lesson learned. Anyone know where to purchase a good metal ring?

DSE 3 #2 April 19, 2009 Ouch. I feel for you. We just recently had this conversation.Most photoshops will carry this stepdown ring, and they can be found on eBay for a couple of bucks, but they come from overseas. I bought a dozen for around 35.00 HERE are a couple.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saxboy 0 #3 April 19, 2009 "Anyone know where to purchase a good metal ring?" Hi. Sorry to read about this...I bought mine raynox 5050 from this store.. www.digitaltoyshop.com They gave to me a free metal (aluminnium) step ring.Also the 5 plastic step rings.. The shipping was very very fast!!. The second day after the order I had the lens..!!! I thing the store is in Spain.. Try contact with them if you want... Also you can "pay cash on delivey" if you talk with them..and a free delivery if you place the order by phone.. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,412 #5 April 19, 2009 Sorry you lost your lens; glad you didn't lose the front of your camera. There are pluses and minuses to plastic stepdown rings. Shearing before the camera lens does is a plus, losing the adapter lens is a minus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
