Lensmate Quick-Change Filter Adapter Kit Compatible with Canon G7X Mark III, G7X Mark II & G7X (Also fits G5X Mark II & G5X) - 52mm

I have also not been paid to write this review, I was actually looking at the reviews for this and saw that it had a "1 Star" rating. So went back to check it out. It received a 1 Star because the person thought that they were getting a G7X.. **Smh** "I know.." Please people.. if you ever purchase something and it is not listed as what you wanted. Don't go writing a bad review because you screwed up, it's not the companies fault you didn't read the listing(I mean seriously, it is in the title that its an adapter, and what working G7X has ever sold for under $300.00?). Basically, Own up to your mistakes and ask for a return, don't get mad at others because you screwed up.. we all do sometimes.Anyway, here is my review:This "FILTER ADAPTER" is AMAZEBALLS!! I have now purchased 2 of them and they do as expected. The sticky glue on it is durable, just make sure you line it up before applying(otherwise you have to remove it and try again, the sticky loses stickiness).. It will also work on the Sony RX100 series of cameras(tried it on a RX100V with no issues). It came in quick, attached quick and is great if you want to connect an ND Filter/Polarizer or any other 52mm Filters(I recommend purchasing a 52-55mm Step up ring, or 52mm to (whatever filters you have). It will make it easier on you in the end(this way you don't have to make another order when it arrives, further delaying the use of this awesome adapter).

I bought this for two reasons. First, I wanted to use a polarizing filter on the camera and this was the only way I found to mount one and that feature works just fine. I was a little concerned about having to mount a ring to the camera with tape but that was not a problem and I can't even conceive of how it might be once I did it. You get a little round dodad that helps you center the mounting attachment on the lens frameThe second reason I bought it was that the lens protecting external shutter over the lens was intermittent on my camera. Not enough so that I wanted to return it for warranty work, but enough that I was concerned about finding another way to protect the lens and this solved that problem.Interestingly, the shutter now works just fine, closes every time completely when I turn the camera off. I think this adapter with it's own lens cover is a big help keeping dust off the shutter mechanism.

This is a very good idea for cameras without filter thread. The adapter is a bid pricey but it works well on my Canon G5X and it actually makes the camera look nicer. There was no instruction enclosed, but installation is not difficult. My little complaint is the two rings ( one sticked to the lens housing, one installed with a filter) don’t attach together firmly. There is quite a bid of play when I put them together. There is no problem of them being separated by themselves, just a bid annoying to feel the filter moving.Over all, the adapter gives the lens better protection and adds the flexibility to use different filters. Great job!

Who knows what the descriptor "warmth" means. Followed supplied instructions and installation was easy. Initially it seems secure, time will be required to assess longevity of the adhesive. I was disappointed that no extra adhesive rings were supplied with the order. One has to order an additional ring with the adhesive pre-applied if the initial ring does not adhere properly or needs to be re-affixed. It is an additional and excessive expense and affects my overall evaluation.

If you've been doing your research on the G7X Mark II it's one of the top compact cameras in its class. Your research probably also indicates that its fatal flaw is the fragility of the lens cover blades and its susceptibility of getting dust under the lens.As such, lens protection is pretty much mandatory. There are three ways to get this protection.The first, is a cheap lens cap. However, a lens cap interferes with the lens motor if you're like me and don't always remember to take the lens cap off before powering the camera on. The camera will notice the obstruction when operating the camera motor and shut itself off. I don't think this is good for the lens motor and it also leaves your lens vulnerable while shooting.The second, is a magnetic filter attachment. It's great because it doesn't impede the lens extension, keeps protecting the camera during operation, and gives you the nifty option of using various filters. However, magnets are susceptible to bumps and contact; sometimes knocking them off completely.This Lensmate adapter is held on by adhesive and it's rather strong (although I haven't tried removing it). Standard 52mm filters fit easily over it (you can even stack filters if you wish). It really is the best option. It even comes with a snap-in lens cover. I wish I had read that earlier ... I bought one in the same order as this product.The only cons about adding filters and lens caps is that it makes the camera lens protrude out farther from the body. However, that's to be expected, unavoidable, and not a downfall of the product itself.

This kit is awesome! Hands down easiest install of any accessory I've bought took about 60 seconds doesn't affect function at all. It will allow you to use filters at 52mm but also protect against dust behind your lens! Buy it! It also doesn't affect pictures adapter ring cannot be seen in picture and 3m adhesive is stout this will not fall off unless you want it to.
