Powershot A640 lenses

This is my first post so Hi!

I got a powershot A640 for Christmas and noticed that you can get a lense adaptor to add a telephoto or wide angle lense. These are the only two lenses Canon offer for this camera but I was wondering whether you are limited to these 2 or whether you can add any 58mm lense/filter once you have the adaptor?

Also are the cheap ones I keep seeing on ebay any good or sould I steer clear?

im in the same situation . i just got the same camera . from what i read on the net the 2 canon's are supposed to be decent . the ones in their manual for the a640 . im getting the tele photo in a few weeks . i just got their adaptor . its plastic but im hoping it will be ok . i saw a whole bunch of third party lenses and filters as well on the net and ebay . im gonna stay clear of those and try the canon first . im new at this as well ..
