I got the Canon spring-loaded filter adapter to use with achromatic macro attachments.
Now that I have it I put a polarizer on it as well.
Pretty handy gadget.
My vote is "frequently."

Phoenixkh a mere speck More info | Jun 02, 2011 00:58 | #8 I have two setups using Lensmate adapters. I keep the part A &C adapters on with a Hoya Moose 72 mm filter on almost all the time (most of my shots are outdoors). The other setup is A & C for use with the Raynox DRC-250 Super Macro lens. I realize you can get less expensive adapters from a variety of sources but I have to say... the quality of Lensmate products makes me smile. Their stuff is unparalleled for beauty, fit and function.

idsurfer Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 07, 2011 09:35 | #13 slimmer wrote in post #12551198 ^^^What he said Okay, okay...I have only a cheapo adapter that I use for close up filters. When using these I am at the long end of the FL. My adapter doesn't zoom in and out like the canon. So any other filters I would have issues with. When I'm out and about I don't take one. For me the purpose of a small camera is that it be one unit and easily tucked away. For any other needs the DSLR is going with me. Cory

) and like using polarizer in the daylight. And planning to add more 58mm filters to the collection (ND and IR for sure). Probably will have it on there all the time unless needing to pack smaller as I like the idea of keeping a UV filter on all the time just for the added protection to the lens. And I like the extra grip it affords me (being used to shooting DSLR's alot).
