Wide Angle Lenses

Ultra-wide lenses are going to be expensive no matter what. If you're willing to go with third-party lenses you can save some money with something like a Sigma http://www.adorama.com/SG1020EOS.html ) or a Tamron ( http://www.adorama.com/TM1024EOS.html ).

It's not a problem if you're not using a wide-angle lens. And if you are, you can always diffuse the flash by putting a thin white handkerchief or even a sheet of tissue paper over the flash.

AF-S NIKKOR
600mm f/4G ED VR is the best lens you can buy.

No. The converter is intended for certain point&shoot cameras. It is designed to fit in front of the much smaller lenses. The D3000 has interchangeable lenses, so you can simply remove whatever lens you have on it and attach a wide-angle lens.

That is not fair the manul does not show adaptors for the lense. You may need an adaptor tube

I only found this in a kit form hope you have better luck.

Hello till1118, I would suggest picking up a copy of Shutterbug magazine. This lists new and used lenses for many styles of cameras and you might be able to find a mail-order bargain. A website I use many times for photo purchases is www.KEH.com or www.eBay.com. You'll find other lenses out there from secondary manufacturers for half the price. Good luck.

See my other post ref long/wide angle lenses.

Just check out ebay - look for fuji convertor lenses, a pair of basic Raynox long and wide angle lenses are about £100 although you can buy higher spec ones for significantly more. With Jessops going through hard times they tend to put these in their junk/clearance bins - I got my wide angle for £1.39 after waiting for about 3 weeks for it to drop in price. Check out when they are closing or clearing stock. Guess all high st retailers will be in the same boat wherever you are based at the moment so willing to sell-off slow moving stock.

That's completely normal for those cheap wide angle add on lenses. There good for a little fun but nothing serious. I bought the lens kit for the Kodak DC3400, probably the exact same lens. The telephoto in that kit was actually pretty reasonable though.

You are going to find the majority of users on here use the Sony VCL-DH1758. http://www.digitallyunique.com/vcl-dh1758.html

Yes, you can use different lenses with the PhotoPC. To find out what lenses are compatible with the PhotoPC, contact TIFFEN.
