Add-on lenses for Panasonic DMC-FZ5?

[tigerli]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for an add-on lens for my new FZ5 for macro photography.

I saw on ebay that there are third-party add-on lenses for FZ3?

I wonder if they are good, and if they fit FZ5 as well?

Anyone has used them?

Thank you

I wonder if they are good, and if they fit FZ5 as well?

Who knows if they fit ..there is no where I see that it states the mounting size and I doubt if they are any good.
It is possible they may work somewhat on some non zoom cameras but I doubt they work on the FZ cameras.

I bought a set. They are 52mm lenses, and the threads on the FZ5 are 55mm. The lens set comes with a 55-to-52mm adapter so they all work ok.

The WA lens adds about 30% to the field of vision and seems pretty clear.

The tele converter is junk. At max res it is very fuzzy.

The filters are alright, but I suspect not very good quality.

All in all, if you want a set I will sell you mine for $60!!

Thanks, Trooplewis. I realize that set is not for closeup or macro.

How about the following two closeup/macro sets?
