I am looking for a lens adapter for my Sony Digital . . . DSC-P72. Yes, I should probably upgrade but I like this little camera but I cannot find a lens adapter. Seems Sony only made a few and then discontinued them. . .

The part I need is the VAD-PEA and it looks like this: http://www.camerahacker.com/Sony/VAD-PEA.JPG

Any help in locating one would be greatly appreciated. :thumbup:

I did a little snooping around and it appears that the adapter has been discontinued by Sony. In my 30 experience with Sony, especially their accessories, that ain't good news. I'd suggest rummaging around on-line camera stores or calling some of those camera outlets in the back of Modern Photography to see if someone's got one laying around.

KEH is a good bet http://www.keh.com/hmpg/index.cfm Best place to buy used gear.
Also Helix in Chicago, they have mountains of obscure parts.

Try eBay as well. These were popular cameras and it's likely one will show up.

Thanks fellas. I'll keep an eye on those two sites. They do come up on Ebay every once in a while but they sell for $100 + . I'm too cheap to buy something for 5 times its original retail price.
