is it really that good?

A diffuser is used as it is called, to diffuse the light from the flash. In other words to soften the harshness of the flash so the pics come out nice.

erm, the model numbers are getting confusing. is the raynox wide convertor lens the best? how about pricing? quite confusing with so many prices being discussed. anyone knows where to buy/ the place selling the lens at the cheapest rate?

like tks said, there is a WC lens selling @ $70 only. no one seems to have replied to his question. anyone?

He is not a dealer but just a rep who helps out the guy who brings in the stuff. Go to the MO thread and look for the Raynox thread.

Cheers.....

"Vitacon wide converter which costs about $70+. I think it was marked 0.45 or 0.48." -tks

Cause it sux! Trust me, you really do not want to go for the really cheap ones. The glass is bad, you will loose sharpness, will get abarations etc.

Some of these vitacon or lens attachments are actually designed for Video Cameras not digital cameras.

Yeah, originally Raynox made their stuff for vid cams. They have migrated into the still cam market though.

Yes the circular polariser can sit on top of the uv filter. Depending on brand. Hoya 58mm cost me $38 from TCW.

hm... wondering if the s3 can use the Canon Wide Convertor WC-DC 52A, if so, is it better than the raynox lens? if i can get it 2nd hand @ $110, is it worth it?

hi newbie here.....

got the S3 2 weeks ago....
1) LAH-DC20 + WC-DC58A
2) LAH-DC20 + SRW-6600-58LE
3) ??adapter + DCR 6600PRO 52mm

which one is better?

 

[lastboltnut]

Sorry, where is TCW? Hoya good? Got distortion when use on S3? Or would you buy another model if you were to buy again? Thanks
