Very interesting. I have a Sony AX100. From your note above am I right in thinking I would need a 62 to 72 converter and the 72mm hoopcap? No problem at wide angle end with vignetting?

Yes. The thread on the Hoocap is 72mm the X70 is 62mm.

Thanks just ordered a hoopcap and adapter. All the hoopcaps seem to be the same dimensions except for the filter size.
Many thanks for the info.

Amazon has 67mm Hoocaps for sale and they even have a video of a guy putting it on his AX100. I ordered it and a 62-67 stepup and 67mm UV filter. Sure will be glad to get rid of that lens cap that takes a lot of fiddling to get in on right.

The Hoocap works perfectly - this is what should have come with the camera.
