Adaptor Question

Jaguar240

Hi Folks,

Ive a 62mm Wide Angle lens that I would like to use with 52mm 18-55 Nikon lens that cam with my camera. Can anybody tell me what adoptor I need & where would be best to buy it.

Regards

Sorry Jaguar dont understand the question? Are you trying to attach a lens to another lens thinking that this will give you 18-62? :eek: Or do you have a 62mm filter that you want to attach to the 18-55 lens, or is the 62mm another brand of lens that you want to attached to a Nikon camera?

Sorry aout my discription. I have an 18-55 Nikon Lens which is 52mm. The lens that came with the camera. I want to screw a 62mm lens onto it. Join a 62mm male onto a 52mm female

I have never heard of anyone trying to attach two lenses to a camera before, and dont really know what advantage that would give you, especially as there is not a great deal of difference between the two...ie 55mm to 62mm is not a huge difference.

What are you hoping to achieve by this, if it is indeed possible to do so?

ps....I am thinking that it is a 62mm filter that you are trying to attach to your 18-55 lens which is 52mm thread? For this you will need a stepping ring which has a 62mm thread on one side and a 52mm thread on the other, try 7dayshop.

You're still making no sense.

Is it a 52mm filter thread on the front of the 18-55 and a 62mm filter thread on the front of the wideangle or on the back?

Why would you want to stick them together? It the wideangle lens some sort of wideangle adapter for a lens and not an actual camera lens?

Then you need something like this:

Sorry again, watching the match what I'm trying to do is to screw a lens similar to the one that's in picture onto the 18-55.

Well then you need the step up ring I linked to above. That one is obviously expensive but you should find one online for a few quid.
