Tomm Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It's basically the opposite of the wide angle, it's a zoom. It just magnifies everything by 2x, so you have more power at the tele (long range) end of the zoom, sacrificing the wide angle capabilities.

biketrialler Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 out of interest, if you didnt know what the lenses were going to do, why would you want to buy them? normally people buy a piece of hardware like that to benefit them in a particular way!

Rob_P Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 ^ That my friend is a damm good point.Yeah, what Tomm said really. It just gives you a little bit of extra zoom, but the add on lenses tend to be quite crap to be honest, espically the really cheap ones. Like people buy add on semi fisheyes, you'll notice a big black edge and a bucket load of distortion. Still, if it's cheap enough give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I'd imagine he thought it was an extra cool lens effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
