Darwin, good stuff! Are you sliding the Cokin adapter right onto the Lensmate directly?

I am really enjoying my G11 and in fact use the Lensmate adapter too (all the time). I need to get a thin polarizer as per your suggestion.

I took this shot last week in the power generation station at Hoover Dam. ISO 100, f/3.5 @ 1/4 second. Got to love IS!

Hi Jim I do slid the Cokin P-holder onto the lensmate adapter and I went with a screw-on thin mount polarizer. Awesome industrial photo! Darwin

I know an ND filter isn't a polarizer, but you do know the G11 has a built in ND filter,don't you? I've used it many times on my G6 and G9. Alas, not included on my S90. I've got all the P Coken stuff but no tube adapter on the S90 either. Oh, well. It's small.

I had the Lensmate tube and lens hood on my G6 when it was my only camera. Aside from shading the lens, it made it look more like a "real" camera. I went back the other day and looked at some G6 pics and they still look good (in good light).

Mike, I use the built-in ND filter on the G11 all the time.
