Al.
Blowed if I know. I just screwed it to the front of the lens, then adjusted the filter lens till I got the look I wanted.
I knew that when I used auto focus, it would move with the lens, but thought at least it would protect the camera lens from the sea spray.
I would have been better off just using my UV filter instead.
But no, I had to be smart and try something different.
I'll be kicking myself over this for ages.
