Wide Angle Lens for 30x0z

Thanks, I couldn't find the WCON-08E B-28 version on B&H and when I
phoned, the guy basically said they didn't have the stepup ring.
Stupid me I thought he'd be able to direct me to the lens with the
stepup ring. I search for the "WCON-08E" and indeed it lists the
stepup ring as part of the item. Anyway I ordered one from ecost,
the price was $2 US cheaper and shipping was $15 Canadian cheaper.
I hope ecost is a "good' or reputable firm???

Thanks everyone.

...my thinking has been that the B-28 was intended for the IS 3
film camera...and didn't require a stepup ring...were the lens
threads on the IS 3, 55mm?...
...OTH, the WCON 08E is for Oly digital cameras that required the
CLA-1, then a step-up ring from 43mm
...B&H lists the B-28 (showing no ring included) in stock for
$123.50..
... " " " WCON-08E (showing ring included) in stock for
$139.95...
...were it me, I would grab the WCON-08E(they are the same lens,
but the WCON comes with the ring)...B&H is a very reputable
dealer...you should have no problems at all...
...well, that's it...call me "El Dumb-o" if you like, but it's my
story, and I'm stickin' to it...
