How do you think to couple it to G3?
The camera adapter only works with removable lens camera (SLR).

I'm 99% sure you can get an adaptor for a G3 - have you used one of these before?

Never. Anyway take care, to adapt an optical device to a removable lens camera is not the same as to adapt it to a compact camera like G3.

"Never." Do you work for them or something???

Like I said I'm 99% sure that Enhelion do a Bayonet lens adapter suitable for the G3. I would confirm this but their site is off line at the moment.

Anyway thanks for all your help!
