Nikon UR-E21 Adapter Ring

This adapter is made from sturdy, nicely finished, aluminum. Add-on lenses for compact cameras don't make much sense to me - they are bulky and expensive and your camera isn't so compact any more. However, this adapter does allow you to use filters and hoods with your Nikon P6000. The adapter has 43mm threads, so a 43-52 step-up ring will allow you to use popular 52mm filters (e.g., a polarizer). A screw-on 52mm hood will reduce sun flare. You probably can't use 43mm filters and hoods directly because of vignetting, but there's no problem after the step-up and most SLR photographers already have lots of 52mm accessories.

I just received this item, thinking I was buying a telephoto adapter. I didn't.Here is what Amazon says:"Technical Details * Mount Type Nikon F-Bayonet * Lens (Elements) 7 * Lens (Groups) 5 * Optical Conversion Factor 2x, effectively doubles the focal length of the attached lens * Light Loss 2 f-stop"Absolutely not true. The device is a simple tube, needed to attach anything else. There are NO glass elements inside.Shame on you, Amazon.

This adapter mounts very easily to the Coolpix P6000 after removal of a small trim ring on the camera. I use it to couple the camera to a spotting scope for digiscoping, but I'm sure it's fine as a filter holder. It is a major feature of this camera system for digiscopers, making mating the camera to the scope very simple.Don
