Lens Adapter/Hood Kit LAH-DC20
- Conversion Lens Adapter LA-DC58E
This is a lens adapter required for attaching the wide converter,
tele-converter and close-up lens (58 mm thread diameter).
- Lens Hood LH-DC40
We recommend attaching the lens hood to prevent light from
outside of the screen from entering the lens when shooting with
wide-angle and backlight without a flash.
