Product Description
Since it fits right over your camera's existing lens system, a wide-angle and telephoto converter affects the full zoom range of your camera's lens. A wide-angle converter increases your angle of view - scenes include more of the landscape, groups include more people, and interiors show more of the room. A .5x wide-angle converter DOUBLES your angle of view, allowing you to get twice as much in the picture (AND your telephoto setting also becomes wider; not zooming in as close). A 2x converter will double your camera's maximum focal length, bringing things twice as close. An Opteka conversion lens can actually improve the image that your digital camera receives, and it's about the only accessory that can. By eliminating flare and ghosting, the ugly cousins of reflection and refraction, before they get to your camera's original lens system, your camera gets a much cleaner image to digitize. Plus, an Opteka converter allows you to use a more optimal part of your original lens system, resulting in more crisp imagery. Nothing changes the way you see the world like High Definition, and no company does High Definition like Opteka. In the professional setting, Opteka's glass optics define High Definition. Change the way you view the world. Enjoy outstanding detail, enjoy enhanced clarity, enjoy Opteka. With an Opteka 5 piece Lens/Camera cleaning kit it contains everything you need to maintain your Digital Camera! It cleans hard to reach lenses, protects battery contacts, and is very easy and safe to use. Works excellent for lenses, cameras, filters, and it also easily cleans LCD panels. The lens cleaning solution is specially made for removing oil and dirt. The Opteka table top tripod is ideal for backyard observation or anywhere - an ultra-compact tripod is all you need! Opteka lenses are covered by a lifetime warranty.

4 out of 5 stars Nice for the price   July 7, 2008
If your expectations are not too high you will like this item. The best part is the telephoto lens. I did a test in Photoshop and determined that the telephoto lens gives you almost 150% of the normal image. The resolution is not quite as sharp as the camera lens, but quite adequate for posting to web pages (which is what I do) or printing out on your home printer. I would not recommend the lens for high res print work but then if you were doing that you would be buying more expensive equipment to start with. I took the lens to Alaska and crossed my fingers as I didn't have time to test it out beforehand. With the combination of the 8.0 pixel camera and this lens I was able to get some pretty good wildlife shots by the time I tweaked the images in Photoshop.
I have not had the need to use the wide angle lens as much. It does create dark shadows at the edges but I get around this with the clone stamp in good old Photoshop so for me it's not a problem.
The little tripod is cute and useful. And the cleaning materials are useful too. I thought this was a fair deal for $30, but I wouldn't pay more.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Value and Quality for the price   October 6, 2007
I am very happy with this product.

It is reasonably priced and it fits perfectly well on my Olympus compact camera. The workmanship and quality is a good bargain for the price.

I have used this extensively to make 360 degree panoramic as well as abstract picture. The .5 is ideal for 90% of times and situations.

A clever design.

3 out of 5 stars Two Piece Lens Set   August 23, 2007
Wide-angle lens does not seem to have any effect. Telephoto lens is weaker than I expected


4 out of 5 stars Nice but...   June 8, 2007
the wide angle creates a small amount of distortion at the outside edges.
