Hi Folks

My advice, take a look around and study a bit. This is bound to be crap. Buy it as you need it and know about what you need.

Crystal Optics is certainly not known for high-quality lenses, but rather for cheap, shoddy lenses.

yep do a search on lenses. it been descussed before. my opinion that they that cheap its because they are cheap.

Hello, GB....I've got a Canon G3, and some accessory lens that I bought from a company called Raynox. I'm considering moving up to an SLR platform, so I would sell both my camera and the lens or just the camera or just the lens. They are high quality Japanese made optics, still under warranty, and I have all three types that are needed, the Raynox 1650 Pro telephoto, a DCR-5000 wide-angle, plus the DCR-250 Super-Macro lens. If you're interested, get back to me and I'll look back at my records to see what I paid for them, which was somewhere in the $350-$400 range, and we'll discuss prices and shipping. I haven't put these out on e-bay yet, but when I do, I think they will go pretty quickly. Let me know, mate......MackRoe

Hi MacRoe

Didn't really want to spend that much because I feel i'll be moving on SLR within 12 months.

Thx. Anyway

Hi,
My friend and I got duped by a company called Camera Empire & Gallery in San Francisco in October 2004. We bought Wide angle lenses and Tele lenses. Wide angle lense work, but there's a huge black ring around the image that it's just no good using the converter. The Tele lense a Vision Optics Titanium 2.0x Digital doesn't do anything....Still, I'm quite sure that the lenses that we tried on in the store worked!?
The asian man that sold us all the products was mixing back and forth between the stuff, so he might have swapped the products before putting them in boxes and in the bag...

My advise is to avoid buying Crystal Optics and Vision Optics, atleast from stores in San Francisco!

Avoid this company:
Camera Empire & Galeria de Pars
789 Beach Street
San Francisco
CA 94109 by Ghiradelli Square

I'm currently stuck with one Vision Optics Titanium 2.0x Digital and one Crystal Optics Japan 0.45x AF High Definition Digital Lense With Macro.
We paid 542.50USD for two of each and two 52mm ring adapters for Fuji S7000 and two UV-filters from Bower.

Stuck here in Sweden with this crap. :-(
Anyone who want to buy cheap?

Now I use Hoya UV- and C.PL-filter for my Minolta A2 and I'm very pleased.
