Option A
Now you can add ND, ND Grad, or any filter that fits the Cokin P holder* (84mm wide filters) to the Lensmate G10 72mm lens adapter without vignetting at any focal length. The Cokin P style holder snaps into the groove of the Lensmate G10B. With a round 72mm low-profile polarizer attached to the lens adapter, there's room for 1 square filter (if you're careful, you can use get a second one to just clear the polarizer). Without a polarizer, all 3 slots can be used. Directions: Note: To prevent the filter holder from turning too freely, a small black elastic band is included with the purchase of a Cokin P Style filter holder which is placed in the 72mm lens adapter groove before attaching the filter holder. Option B If you can tolerate a little vignetting, you can use all three of the filter holder slots and a polarizer by using the 72mm Cokin P adapter ring. The polarizer goes onto the G10A+B first, the adapter ring screws into the polarizer, then the filter holder snaps onto the ring. It's easier to adjust the polarizer before attaching the square filter holder, though it can be done afterward by rotating the entire assembly (always clockwise to avoid unscrewing the adapter ring). Then, while holding the polarizer from turning, adjust the filter holder so the slots are vertical (again only turning clockwise). It's not as difficult as it might sound - once you actually set it up on the camera it's easy to figure out. For those interested in using the G10A alone, the Cokin P style holder can be attached to a polarizer with a 58mm adapter ring. The zoom range will still be limited by the polarizer, but all 3 square filter slots can be used. Without the polarizer, the zoom range is extended as follows:
Simply snap the holder into the outside groove of the Lensmate G10B 72mm lens adapter (with or without the polarizer in place). Then insert square filter/s and adjust if necessary.
These show P holder vignetting when the holder is attached using the 72mm adapter ring screwed into a low profile polarizer. Results are the same in Wide aspect ratio.
3 square filters - 6.1 - 18.1mm (or 28mm - 83mm film equivalent)
2 square filters - 6.1 - 21.5mm (or 28mm - 99mm)
1 square filter - 6.1- 25mm (or 28mm - 115mm)
*We sell the Cokin P holder clone, though the original Cokin P holder fits the lens adapter groove the same way. There are other copies made that do NOT fit the Lensmate G10 72mm lens adapter "B".
