Xtend-a-Lens™ adapters
letting you use standard photographic accessories with your digital camera
---

The Xtend-a-Lens adapter is the foundation of the Photosolve system, allowing you to attach other Photosolve products as well as many industry-standard camera accessories to your digital camera. Now you can get exactly the shots you want, complementing your camera with your choice of lenses, filters, adapters and other add-ons.

< Xtend-a-Lens 290 adapter. On several of our Xtend-a-Lens adapters, the far end grips the lens casing of your digital camera, using a textured rubber inside sleeve that's completely safe for your camera. It's on or off with a twist of the wrist. The near end has standard, metal camera threads for the attachment of Photosolve accessories and many other types of filters, lenses, hood mounts and other equipment. Some Xtend-a-Lens products have either bayonet or screw thread attachment to the camera, depending on model. Other Xtend-a-Lens models have bayonet or screw fittings to match the camera on which they're intended to be installed. The most recent adapter, the OMNI, mounts to the tripod mount of the camera and adjusts to fit the set up of the lens.

Many digital cameras don't have threads on the lens barrel, because the zoom mechanisms of the the lens assembly are not designed to bear the weight of filters and other add-ons. With the Xtend-a-Lens adapter, you can overcome this limitation and take many kinds of new photos with your camera.

Please note that the original Xtend-a-Lens adapters were designed and manufactured by photosolve. To broaden the line and accommodate our customer's needs, photosolve has acquired lens adapters from other manufacturers and they are marketed under the Xtend-a-Lens brand. We only add these kinds of products after they have been fully tested and meet photosolve requirements.
