But I don't agree on buying a wide angle lens is cheaper than buying one of these front wideangle converters: the cheapest really wide lens for APS-C right now is the Zenitar 16 (I think) which costs ~ $170+ (or €?), these converters sell for roughly the same (I mean the higher grade Raynox adapters).
I'm not familiar with the Raynox adapters specifically, nor was I thinking only of ultrawides like the Zenitar for comparison. Some of the wide converters are more like several hundred dollars. There are *lots* of normal and wide lenses available for that kind of budget, including 20, 24, 28, 30, and 35mm lenses.
