Picked one of these up off of eBay (couldn't get the Olympus 2020, bids kept going too high), and apparently it needs something to allow it to take filters.
Googled a bit and some people are using wide angle lens, but it costs 90+$.
Does anyone have any recommendation to allow it to take filters (or some cheap fix) that is inexpensive?
What exactly are you looking for? Are you sure the 900-series items won't work? They do both have a 28mm lens thread. If you discover that 900-series accessories do work, I have some of them that I no longer use...
I'm not sure, just haven't been able to find much online about what adapters will or won't work. Don't know a ton about photography honestly, so not sure where I'd go to check for compatability.
I know there were some resources out there, mainly discussions by users, but at this date they may be gone or hard to find. If the Coolpix camera has a non-moving front element and a 28mm front thread, there's a reasonable chance an adapter made by Nikon will work. I would not buy the 3rd-party adapters, only the Nikon adapters. The adapters are always an optical compromise, but the Nikon ones do a much better job than the 3rd-party options.
Yeah, sounds good.. I'll give it a shot. Nikon one would be better quality, but it's a lot more money. Will probably pick up a 3rd party for ten bucks just to make sure the non-800 model line will work first, then switch it up if it does.
