    Is it possible to get a G11 user manual in Ukrainian?

  5. david says:

    ? For what can the bayonetted ring surrounding the lens be used? I have not found any accessories that use it. I wouldn’t mind having a travel lens cap that would fit it.

    @David
    You can use a 58mm adapter tube to attach filters.
    It’s described here:
