Hmmm. I don't see anything there. I'll send you a message with my email address.

Magnetic filters only in some selected sizes. Nothing for my cameras. Click link above and view the cameras they used.
I'm going to try and make my own here. Will post results when I get it done.

I looked at ebay and found an extension filter tube that fits my Coolpix P510 and lets me use filters on my camera. And a 3 pack of filters: UV, Warming filter and a circular polarizer. So I'll be a little more prepared for spring pictures. Less than $ 50.00 total with shipping.

That's what I did for my first compact Olympus.... bought a cheap third party tube and a kit of filters. Worked wonderfully. I pretty much kept the tube on at all times.

I just emailed MagFilter to see if the 36mm system will work on my Nikon Coolpix S9050 camera? On this camera, the lens opening is a square. At the diaginal corners it looks like 27mm, and the filter ring is 28mm. If it does then I will probably get it soon. Then I'll have both cameras with polarizers on them.

MagFilter said the 36mm system will work on my Coolpix S9050 camera. On order, will document putting it on my camera when it gets here.
