Ive been searching around and noticed there is almost no Lens hood/Filter kits for Bridge cameras but noticed a few select models do have Adapter kits for them such as a Nikon(http://www.ebay.com/itm/LENS-ADAPTER-FILTER-SET-NIKON-COOLPIX-L820-62MM-KIT-/330904438399) But what im wondering is if there is one for the Pentax X-5, as i have bought a lens hood and some filters off of amazon that were specifically labeled as being FOR this camera yet were clearly not (returned and notified amazon of the false advertising in the title as it was from Polaroid /resellers)
My lens states:
SMC Pentax lens 4.0mm - 104mm(top of lense text)
26x wide optical zoom 16megapixel (lower lens text)
I did however attempt to measure it and found when on full extension the inner barrel is around a 45mm width, while the outter barrel connected to the main camera body was around a 60mm.
Im not entirely sure what im looking out for but if anyone has a lens hood they reckon should fit or a adapter kit they can link too itd be brilliant as i am new to photography and got this bridge camera as a introduction into photography so that when i do move up to DSLR at some point i can give this camera to a family member.
As said before any and all help will be greatly appreciated:)
