I've had my Olympus C2020 for about 2 weeks now and it's a great camera.
At the time I ordered the camera, I also ordered an extension tube(seems
to be a 41-46) and a wide angle lens(Raynox 0.65x). I used the wide
angle lens for the first time tonight to take some interior pics of a
motor home for my web site and the lens blocks part of the flash so the
lower left corner of the pic is dark. In natural light w/out the the
flash, I'm sure this would not be a problem. But I shoot most of my
interior shots at night because day light coming through the windows over
powers the flash. Will this occur with all wide angle converters(block
the flash) or is it just the one I bought. Any suggestion would be much
appreciated.

Thanks Gary

I think you'll find that it's the nature of wide-angle converters for
digital cameras & video cameras to be so chunky - you should see the 0.2x
fisheye for the coolpix!!

BTW, let us know how your conversion lens is going - I wasn't game to get
wider a non-olympus lens just yet.

have you tried the panorama functions and "stitching" software? Pretty
neat. I've only tried one, but with 5 pictures, created an 180 degree of
a room. It does result in a short, very wide picture, but it was very
realistic.
