Clever, unusual, edgy, avant garde, NOT up to spec FOR BROADCAST,
inexpensive but cool, wide angle lens idea.

Quality varies wildly with these, esp. when you get into the smaller (wider)
multipliers. I would stick with the more reputable brands (Century Optics,
Canon) unless you have the chance to try before you buy (or a source with a
great return policy). Since they aren't actual lenses but rather lens
The lens I use is a .45 and it's pretty good because I don't get a
lot of vignetting around the edges which can be a problem with some
of the cheaper lenses. Of course it probably helps that I got a lens
that was too big for the camera and use a step ring to attach it. My
camera has a 43mm
Actually it's the other way around. The larger the number the less
wide it is. So a .9 is less wide than a .45 and a .35 is wider still.
A 1.0 is not wide at all. Think of it as reverse telephoto numbers.
Telephotos are messured in number of times of magnification 1x 2x 10x
etc. So wide angle
I see...what number do you use Bill? I got a .5X but I think I would
like it a bit wider than that, but I am having trouble finding ones
less than .5X at least here and on ebay at the moment, but maybe I am
searching wrong..

Some lenses blur our when you zoom in a lot. I have a .7 that does
that and a .5 that doesnt.
I would assume that with macro means full zoom through.

macro lets you do extreme close up, like filming bugs, flowers water
droplets etc. this is when lens very close
