i'm using a slik sprint pro GM which costs around 80-90 bucks if im not wrong.. good enough for your fz5 with a heavy wide angle converter.. havent tested it out with a teleconverter tho.. polarizer.. close up lenses can leave for later.. every month buy one new thing.. heh..

wow... thanks for ur recommendation reiv, but with the purchase of the FZ5 and the tripod alone, it's going to be $740..! I just checked BargainCity's website, stated as such:

Panasonic FZ5
FREE 512 mb SD card
FREE extra 256 mb SD card
FREE Panasonic Case
FREE Extra OEM Battery
FREE Cleaning Kit
FREE Large Tripod
Optional extra 2 years warranty at S$65.00 nett (covering service and parts)
Upgrade 512 mb SD to 1 Gb card for extra S$60.00 excl GST

all for $739!

do u all think it's more worth it, and "safe" to buy from them now that they've an actual store at Bishan Junction 8?

that's a pretty good package...
if you really want the camera, should not be so "giam" lah...
deprive yourself of enjoying the camera earlier for a few dollars..
in fact, the normal retail price is $799 with only free 256MB card and case, so you already saved alot liao...come on and join the FZ5 club...we are waiting!! :lovegrin:

wide angle convertors are used for shooting buildings? scenary?

the wcon 07 so heavy. the plastic adapter can tahan? geez.

wide angle are used for shooting wide views...i.e. in cases where your normal wide is unable to filll the screen, eg..large group photos, etc. yes, the plastic adapter can sustain the the WCON7 as I have done it before. only problem is the flash. you can't use it as the lens block the bottom half of the flash. you will need to use an external slave flash...

Hi reiv,
i thought ppl recommended getting hoya +4? is it really bad? because of distortion or issit the quality of the photo? with nikon 4t or 6t, i think fz5 would require a step up ring right? newbie here......pls help

depends on ur preference.. hoya +4 is cheap but its not up to my standard...
with 4t u'll require a step down. with 6t u'll require a step up
