I love the Ranox 6600 Wide angle I purchased at www.lensmateonline.com (external link).

I could have waited on the Tiffen Megaplus 2x teleconverter and don't use it as much for my type of photography. But I do hope to use it more and more.

These are quality lenses from a great online store.

this might sound stupid but that's exactly vignetting? i'm tryin to see it from the samples but I can't tell....and also... quality of the picture wise, there isn't much different between the more expensive canon and others...am I right?

so i think i'm gonna get the raynox wide angle and the kenko teleconverter.... since they're both 52mm on the attachment, easy enough right?

Not so fast!!!

Read up a bit more. Check out this page: Kazutoku's famous G1&G2 report (external link) ... it's for the G2/G3, but I think that much of what was posted there still holds true for the G6, as the optics should be rather similar.

I had the Kenko KNT-20 and Olympus WCON-08 on my G2, and I liked them both a lot.

Also, check out olympusauctions (external link) (new products in dented packages sold by Olympus with full warranty], they sometimes have great deals on Olympus teleconverters (also among the best available).

Best regards,
Andy


some cameras, some lenses,
and still a lot of things to learn...
(so post processing examples on my images are welcome :D)
