A620 Lenses

[Bob_Benner]

Ca anyone recommend a good telephoto conversion lense and a good wideangle conversion lense for an A620. I was looking at the Lensmate website but not sure what to buy as I am still pretty new to all the different lenses and filters, etc. Thank you for any info.

Guess no one wants to help

Sounds like you want an S3

Everything you want is on the lensmate website.

Check out their sample images for the tele and wide lenses.
They even say how well the lens performs.

Next thing you'll need is the adapter. LM offers 2 adapter, 52mm and 58mm.

4 examples:
A620 and Raynox DCR720 X 52mm ---> this one need the 52mm
A620 A610 and Olympus TCON17 1.7x 55mm ---> this one need a 55mm, this means you'll have to go the 58mm with an extra 58->55mm adapter
A620 and Canon WC-DC58N .7x X 58mm ---> this one nees the 58mm
A620 A610 and Raynox DCR 2020PRO 2.2X ---> this is a special one, it's stated in the text that this uses a 62mm thread and that it has a 52-> 62 abd 58->62mm adapter included in the package.

Get the 2.2, that camera will work ok with a 2X lens since its only 4X optical stock.

I have a raynox for my A540 and my A70 and it works great. The 2X sucks on the S2 though.

Thanks for the help. I knew I would eventually get some good advice here. I am using this camera as kind of a learning curve. I have never messed around with manual settings before but with this camera I am. I have really been getting into photography in the last month or so. My next camera is going to be a S3 IS, probrably some time right before Christmas.
