Greetings Ian,
You are right, you do need the adapter which is a general 55mm thread size
(should accept other accessories in that size). Before you buy, and if you
are buying locally, check them out by bringing your camera with you to the
sale. You see if it fits .
Talk to you soon, Ian,
Ron Baird
