Question about wide angle lenses

[danieltr]

Hi all, I have a Canon powershot A85 and I'm looking for a wide angle lens. I did take a look on E-B** . Is 0.38X is good and why there is always a Macro lens attached to a wide angle lens.

Thank you

Lensmate in Washington State sells some nice wide angle glass made for your A85 and other Canon cameras. You'll need an adapter; theirs is made of aluminum rather than the usual plastic so it should last awhile. Somewhere at this website there's a URL for Lensmate but you should be able to Google it.
