Need info on Canon G7

For those who owns the G7, could you tell me whether the a filter
screen can be attached to the front of the camera? I notice that there
is a screw-in ring that attached to the front of the camera body.
However, one cannot screw in a filter screen, as the lens barrel
expand when you turn on the camera. Then, what is the use of this ring
for?
How do you attach a polarizing filter, for example on the G7?
Thanks for info.

Canon makes a adapter tube. It screws into the ring on the camera and
allows you to mount accessory lenses and filters. One place to buy them is
eBay.

Why don't you try looking for the information yourself instead of posting
all this crap.

Added to kill file.

I just looked at the canon site. Canon state lens accessories are
available for this model, but Mike's post clarifies this point over and
above what Canon offer.
So please kill file me and we'll all kill file you and everyone will be
happy.

I have this adapter (LA-DSC58H) that I bought so that I could use
filters with the camera (nuetral densities and polarizers).

The tube doesn't actually screw into the camera body (more of a push
in and twist arrangement). Its made out of a plastic material so I
would suggest getting a metal filter adapter (58mm) that you can screw
into the tube and then screw filters into that. I don't know how well
the plastic will hold up to screwing filters in and out over time.

It works fine on my G7.

But obviously it wasn't as you'd not be able to reply.

But I had to read it before I knew he wanted me to kill file him. Adding
someone to your kill file doesn't delete already received messages either so
I was still able to reply even after I had done it, which I had - and now
I've added you as well. Isn't that nice?

Your newsgroups must be very quiet these days.

Do you just killfile everybody?
