This is for using 1 lens, not a stacked set. Mods feel free to move this if its in the wrong place.


Supplies, #1 a camera body cap
#2 a cheap lens filter
#3 krazy glue or equivilant


Carefully remove glass from filter, avoiding bending the ring.
Center the large end of the filter ring on the logo side of the body cap. Trace the inside circle of the ring onto the cap.
Carefully cut out the cirlce, being very carefull not to make the circle larger than what you traced.

Place the large ens of the filter ring over the opening on the front(logo side) of the body cap and glue in place. Let glue fully cure.

Screw front of kits lens or other onto filter ring, then mount body cap to camera.
Thats it, but you have to remember the cap doesnt lock on the camera body like a lens does, so be carefull when you twist the zoom for increasing decreasing the power that you dont unscrew the assembly from the camera body. We dont want a dropped lens. Here is a photo of mine.

Thanks Brian. Its called Krazy glue, not sure if its marketed across the pond or not. This stuff will glue your fingers to your project in a few quick seconds :( so you have to work fast.

Sounds like super glue (as it's called here)
