Alison did you once say you had a bulb air release knocking around somewhere, I could just imagine you doing a balancing act wearing high heals trying not to fall over while doing a self portrait 
Peter I found this review on the JJC hood and adapter I`m using.

And another on a thumb grip, any street shooters here that have ever used them in the past, these are nothing new.

Indeed i do have a bulb air release though it's not the most reliable bit of kit I'll stick to my A350 for the self portraits - I have a nice wireless remote for that although I did find out (and it makes sense) that it doesn't work through my ducting
I've yet to investigate goodies for the X10 - the evenings are going by far too quickly to get much done at all

I`ve been enjoying a few days off, but working 3 double shifts, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there going to hit me with a vengance
Money`s tight and I`m not exactly rolling in dosh, I`ve been debating the pro`s and cons of getting a cheap IR filter over a dear one just to test out
Yes me as well, I`m sure I have an old 52mm polariser somewhere
Thanks Paul for pointing us to that review, I will definitely get an 52mm adaptor for the X10 but I am struggling with where to get a non Fuji branded one, the company I mentioned previous (Suntekstore) gets all their orders from Hong Kong and after doing a bit of research their are a number of unhappy customers!
Ebay are a bit up and down, so I will just have to be patient
I had a dig around and I found the old 52mm polariser filter I thought I had

Have you a spare 55mm lens hood, preferably designed for a wide angle lens Alison, a step up ring could be the way to go, but only if you disparately want to use those filters.

Has anyone seen these nifty lens caps? Useulf if you get fed up of using the standard one. It opens like

Yep - I've got a step-up ring so that's sorted. I must just go through my box and see what's there - I know there's a 55mm R72 amongst them, plus a circular polariser and maybe a few ND filters too......
