Camera filters?

[NoviceBoy]

I have recently got my hands on a Samsung Pro815 which I am enjoying very much. I have been taking some shots using the fixed lens it comes with and I would love to buy some additional filters which i understand are available. The problem is I dont know what size to ask for or buy and i dont want to have to take my camera to town with me.

Can anyone help please?

Samsing Pro815 spec.....http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Samsung/samsung_pro815.asp

Thankyou

On the spec it says "Lens Thread - No". I am assuming this means that you will not be able to attach a screw on filter.

That's a 450d with kit lens and a telephoto zoom.

You have a great camera there. It looks like there should be a lens adapter which fixes to the lens onto which the filter would attach.


Check the manual - page 24 onwards
"You can use a general purpose filter
(φ72mm) after attaching the lens adapter."

If you have also mislaid the adapter you will be [ deleted ] ....... in trouble.

Yes - but why not take the adapter to the shop with you......
