EX1/TL500, EX2F: Wide Angle Converter, Filter Adapter, Better Lens Cap

Hi, on the EX1/TL500, did you use

  • Samsung’s filter adapter EA-FA9EX01 (für 52 mm filters)

  • Samsung’s wide angle converter EA-LWCEX01?

Would you recommend them? I want to use the EX1 occasionally with polarizer and close-up lens Canon 250D.

I noted online that you can get filter adapters for this camera for 58 mm filters. I believe they are not Samsung-branded. Any experiences, recommendations here? (I already have both 52 mm and 58 mm filters at home.)

Does the wide angle converter produce good quality or are results visibly distorted or blurry around the edges? Are hi-res results visible somewhere? Is there an alternative?

I would like to use these accessories also on the brand-new EX2F later (soon in the shops, hopefully, but i need a camera by end of August). So far, i found no hints if the EX2F can use the same accessories, other ones or none?

As for a lens cap, there is this automatically closing one availabe, but the material seems weak and dust can sneak in. Your take?

Thanks for all experiences!
