I'm not in the U.S. right now so there's a big price difference between both of them... Are they both just as good? Is the original one worth getting? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. 60D|Canon 10-22mm|Canon 85mm 1.8|Canon 50mm 1.8 ii|Canon 70-200mm f4L|Raynox DCR-250|Sunpak PZ42X

I'd stay away from the ones that screw onto the filter or lens. 5D Mark III Gripped ~ 7D Gripped ~ EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM ~ EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM ~ EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM ~ EF 50mm f/1.8 II ~ 550EX ~ 600EX-RT

May 17, 2011 18:09 | #3 Oh ok, yeah, I think this generic version screws onto the lens from what I've seen on their website... Will that scratch the lens? This is the one that I'm looking at: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar …35-17-40modelo-ew-83e-_JM 60D|Canon 10-22mm|Canon 85mm 1.8|Canon 50mm 1.8 ii|Canon 70-200mm f4L|Raynox DCR-250|Sunpak PZ42X
