I believe any 67mm filter would work. Have you looked at the FAQ on the
nikon site? Go to the 5700 tech support page at:
http://www.nikonusa.com/usa_tech_cen...roductNr=25504

and click on FAQs. Not surprisingly, the 5700 accessory shockwave pages
down mention this.

Amazon.com has both the Nikon 67mm filter ring adapter and a four 67mm package in stock for about
$120 combined, if you are interested. As to why 67mm, who knows. Nikon works in mysterious ways its
wonders to perform. If I were to guess I would think it's because it makes the adapter wide enough
to let the lens extend without a problem. I measured and 67mm is just slightly wider then the lens
when retracted. Anyway that's the only adapter specifically for filters Nikon makes for the CP5700
as far as I know. Just arriving in stores recently.

Sold out? I doubt they are even available yet, especially as such the don't
give a model number. Why 67mm? My guess would be so you could stack filters
without vignetting and there are other cameras which use 67mm filters. Such
are available at http://www.2filter.com

| If you do a search on Google you will find that these filter rings
and filters are available at
| several sites including Amazon.com although Nikon claims they are out
of stock. And they do have
| part numbers. The below was taken directly from the Nikon website.
|
| Nikon USA sells a filter set and adapter rings for the Coolpix 5700.
|
| This filter set consists of four 67mm filters: UV, Circular
Polarizer, Neutral Density 4 and Neutral
| Density 8. They come complete in a handy filter wallet. These filters
require the use of an adapter
| ring, see below, for use with the Coolpix 5700.
|
| 67mm Filter Set (requires adapter ring)
| Product #5596
| MSRP US$119.95
|
| 67mm Adapter Ring - required for use of 67mm filters with Coolpix
5700
| Product #5597
| MSRP US$34.95
|
| As I mentioned Amazon.com has both items for about $120 combined and
they say they usually ship in
| 24 hours. I was wondering if anyone has bought them and used them
with no problems. I have asked
| Nikon whether the treads on the filter ring adapter are universal and
can be used with any 67mm
| filter. I'm waiting for an answer.


The Amazon.com site lists the items as "By Nikon." I reckon they will
come from a well-known photo store on the Eastern seabord, in Nikon
boxes. If they don't, Amazon will have to eat the return.

Ok, thanks. I was thinking more like a model number such as that used for
every other adapter Nikon has, UR-E??
