What happens when you attach an 0.6 wide lens directly in front of a .5 wide lens ?
Anyone tried ? does it widen your shot or is a futile measure.

Folks in this forum use SLR's with interchangeable lenses and generally do not use adapters like you are thinking of. Skip Douglas

Even if you could, the image quality would be abysmal, since using only a single wide adapter will show distortion at the corners. Using two stacked would magnify this. Jon

You would be more likely to get an answer in the point-n-shoot forums, in my opinion. Someone is confused, he is in the P & S forum!

That's what I was thinking, but then I just figured the thread had been moved here from somewhere else or something ?? Gary

Mar 09, 2007 10:09 | #8 Yeah it was moved, my bad, when I saw the forum description of "Everything about accessories for Canon digital" I just clicked it - the EOS bit didn't register much since I wasn't speaking about EOS or pro DSLR gear at all, I figure even EOS users would probably be using the same filter-thread based addons.
