G'day all.

[Jim Bondi]

I'm in Brisbane. Been looking for a lens accessory and somehow stumbled across this forum, so I thought I might as well join. You can't have too many forums to go to, I reckon.

So, my first post here will be to ask a favour. Sorry.

Does anybody know anywhere in Brisbane where I might buy a 58-52 step-down ring?

I've rung all the usual suspects, but this size ring is as rare as hen's teeth, apparently.

Thanks. :)

have you tried photo continental? Although I heard they were changing direction in camera stock etc.

Welcome to AP. See you on the forums

[Jim Bondi]

Yes, Rick, they were the second people I called, but no luck.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

Hi Jim. I did a bit of a search in Sydney. I think you'd better look for hens' teeth alright!!!

Anyway, the only one is P&V here. (http://www.photovideo.com.au/step-down-ring-52mm-p-1464.html)

And also welcome to AP.

Am.

Thanks for going to that trouble, Am. And thanks for the welcome. :)

Since I last posted, I tried Digital Camera Warehouse again, (couldn't get through before), and lo and behold they had one! So, ya can get lucky!

I wanted it so I could stick a Raynox .66 on to a GH4. Works fine, too. Pin-sharp down to zero feet.

I'm glad you found a solution.
