Anyone tried the 707's 0.7X wide angel converter?

I would appreciate if someone could give me an impression of the 0,7x wide angle converter for 707.

Thanks,

Bo

Very nice lens..only thing is that you can use the zoom while using it and dont forget to set the conversion lens on
J to tha G

You could also turn on MACRO feature

Then you can do a bit more, without enabling the CONV LENS feature!

I've been scouring the board for information concerning this very topic. The switches you have to make with the camera's settings are a bit odd, though logical after you figure out why and more of the len's mechanics.

Does anyone have any galleries or example photos? Past discussion theads had links to such galleries, but most of them I got a 404 not found message.

What circumstances do you most use the lens with? I was thinking that it'd be a great tool for more of the landscaping I like doing.

Hobbes : What if the public doesn't like your work?

Calvin : They are not supposed to like it. This is avant-garde stuff! I'm criticizing the low brows who can't appreciate great art like this!

Thanks for your input!!

Here is a link to page of mine that has picture of distorion and how to correct it. I also show camera mounted on Bogen Magic arm to use as pano setup.

I think its a really nice lens, I can fix the distorion and the lens is crisp and bright. It is a pain to switch to between screwing it on and camera setting changes, but can't do much about that.
