Buying lenses off ebay - any good?

[Orr]

I just bought a Z740 and am looking to get some macro and/or wide angle/telephoto lenses for it and the only place I have found any that will ship to the UK are on ebay.

What does everyone think of them and are they any good?

Another good item to have would be a UVHaze filter. Mount your lens adapter on your cam and add the UV Haze to the adapter. Makes for good lens protection. I picked one up at RITZ/Wolf camera. It's a Quantaray 24-166-5835. A fun filter thats pretty cheap is a cross filter. It gives the star effect from light reflections. I hope you have a good time.
