In 2002 I purchased a Canon G2, considered at the time to be one of the best prosumer cameras around. At the time the camera cost me around $1200AU, and as an optional extra, Canon offered a lens surround which would allow you to run filters on it. �Not only was it expensive, but it was made from cheap �black plastic that didn?t even match the champagne camera. After much research I found Lensmate, a small niche company that was making CNC machined aluminum versions that not only matched the colour, but looked a heck of a lot classier.
Well I?m glad to say that Lensmate is still in business. �Currently they support accessories for the �Canon G1X, �SX series,�latest�G series (successors�to my old G2) and S series, �Fuji X10/X100 or Olympus XZ-1. So if you own one of the above cameras and you?ve been considering a filter adapter for running a CPL, close up kit, or even quick change filter systems, then it might well be worth a visit.
