[DukeHyou]

Not long ago....this year november 29th.I brought a Emolux 37mm wide angle converter which cost me $150 dollars(The guy tell me original price is $210 and he gave me a$60 dollar discount)
After a week.When i talked to my colleague who happened to be a sony camera promoter.He told me i actually got scammed...
Just to check.Did i really get scammed?
(To moderator:just to check.Should i post this type of question in this page or other page?)

Lalala... This sort of thing happens all the time. Sorry it happened, but I guess $160 is still a figure that a working adult can handle...

Try not to pay more than $10 for this sort of thing.
He sold you something at a huge profit.
It is willing buyer and willing seller.

Actually... not all lens converters are useless... that is generalization. I owned a Raynox 250... it is a good system and I loved it alot. My bro uses a 500D closeup lens, which is also great. And there are heaps of others in the market that are actually pretty worth what they cost. The thing here is...

don't buy something that you have not done any research on.
