Hi everyone,

A few years back I bought into the XUME system. For those unfamiliar with the system it comprises two parts which could be bought separately or together as a starter kit in a range of different sizes to fit different lens filter threads. It’s a simple idea, screw one of the magnetic adapters onto your lens and the corresponding lens adapter onto your filter and the filter can be quickly and easily attached/detached,

One of the main reasons why I wasn’t carrying any filters was, for my style of photography, walking around taking pictures it was a real hassle having to keep screwing/unscrewing filters with the inherent risk of a cross-threading and made even more tiresome on a cold day when wearing gloves. Just pop the filter on and off, quick and simple

Recently I was looking for some more adapters only to discover that they’ve been discontinued. I managed to find a couple of the lens adapters going at a clearance price but they are rare as hen’s teeth as the saying goes. You can find them on E-Bay changing hands for extortionate prices that I certainly can’t and won’t pay but if anyone has any that they want to part with at a fair price then please let me know their filter thread size. Ideally I’m interested in 58mm and 62mm sizes but I’m not adverse to using step up rings.

I know that one can buy magnetic filters but that would be a very expensive option replacing my filters, the beauty of the XUME system was that one could use one’s existing filters.

Thanks and kind regards

Leigh
