[cbock]

thanks leorooster. below is the desc from the auction i won. with shipping it was only ~$45. well worth it for the fun i've had so far.

Wide-Angle Lens (0.42X) 2.2 times wider.

Adaptor Rings included for connecting to camera lens

Original Made in Japan.

This excellent lens can be separated in two pieces (unscrewed): macro part and wide angle part. So you can use it both ways: like macro lens (without wide angle part) and like wide angle with macro together! This is a very unique feature of this lens for its price. So please notice, this lens consists of two parts: macro part and wide angle part and for the price of only ONE lens you are getting TWO
