0.5x Weitwinkel Objektiv mit Makro 52mm bei eBay.de: Konverter Vorsätze (endet 11.01.08 13:43:24 MEZ)
..on a 18-55 KIT lense? Is it woth the money and effort? The price is around 48 US$.

I have one for my P&S to convert an equivelent 38-380mm lens to 17-170mm.

It works OK on the P&S but causes vignetting on my 28-105mm

It may work, but may not

You have to remember that these conversion lenses are designedwith a much smaller image circle, of a P&S of anout 1.5cm, where the ASP-C sensor is an image circle much closer to 3cm
