look, its logic, a lens (be it of a p&s or slr lens) cost what it cost because of the number of elements, quality of the elements, design of the elements, electrical & electronics components etc.
now look at a wide-con, how does it compare to a lens with regards to the factors listed above? is it of a more complicated design?
if they are that good, why lens makers bother to produce wide angle lens?
see, simple logic.
u can understand why a lens with IS / VR etc cost more than one without with a similar focal range & aperture,
u can understand why a faster lens cost more than a slower lens with a similar focal range.
u can understand why a lens with UD / FL / ED etc elements cost more than one without with a similar focal range.
so i find it difficult to understand why one can suddenly fail to apply same logic when it comes to wide-con.:dunno::dunno:

It is a very expensive lesson learned but it will (hopefully) last a long time. So from that angle it is worth SGD 280. But from photographic point of view ... SGD 280 wasted. Perfectly Vita-conned.

the problems with all this is that people who know nuts about photography wants to jump into buying a DSLR bcos its cheaper nowadays and everyone is having one~!!! (somehow i'm always very sianz when every tom dick n harry is carrying a DSLR, even when they know nuts)
then go to a shop n kana sweet talked into buying it for $200+ instead of spending $900 on a wide angle lens...
then come here n complain...

that was very long time ago when i kana conned to buy it at $400 for two converters..
super regret.. but lesson learnt
Apparently there are cases where wide angle converters attached to 50mm lens work very well. check this example:

Looks quite good to me.
