folks, i have a question....let's say u bought the canon original lens adapter...subsequently i bought a 3rd party wide converter, are these 2 items able to fit? as the converter able to fit into canon adapter?

Canon adapter = 58mm.

You then need to get lenses/filters with thread size of 58mm.

oh i see

 

[felixcat8888]

isee, btw... is there a lens cover for the lens hood?

Must buy lor.

Check the lensmate site, they say that the 52mm version is more suited for the S2IS.

Cerebrus,

Are you also interested in the 52mm Lensmate adapter?

Assumimg the two of us order the 52mm version, it will cost USD$42.90. Add shipping = USD$54.90. That is USD$27.45 for each of us or about SGD$45.30

Any one else interested?

Hi Cerebus, Radeonic and Felix,
Sori if I forgot to mention anyone.
I think I better not keep you guys in suspense. I do have the damage for the http://raynox.co.jp/english/dcr/dcr7900zd/index.htm. It's S$330nett.
Yes, very ex but McGill my bro have oredi squeezed it as low as possible. Cant do much as it's Raynox new latest super wide angle.
If you guys find it anywhere else selling it cheaper please buzz me. I'll git Jim to do sometime abt it.
If you wanna try anything, I'll try to make it next weekend.
Cheers,
James

I am, if I do end up getting the tele or wide adapter. Need to check my budget though, I am but a poor graduate student, so postive income is nothing to be happy about. We can see how many people are interested, then can do our own mini MO from Lensmate. They have adapters for all the other Canon cams.

Cerebrus,

52mm $199

Hahahaha, Morphis as Ah Long. Spying for ppl far away with ur Sony+Tele, then call in ur Kaki.

I might end up getting the 6600pro, just need to save some $$ first. Might have a few people here who also want it. Will inform you once I make a decision. Thanks!

Get the DCR-1540PRO 1.54X, it is good! Have seen S2IS pics with this tele converter. Cheaper then the Canon, if I am not mistaken. You need a 52mm adapter though.

A Tamrac so that I can place the cam with the adapter on n some filters and extra batteries.

$32 for the tamrac bag.

Cannot remember the model. Will take a look and post here tomorrow.
