    Telephoto and Wide lens recommendations for S3?

    I just got my S3 and looking for a wide and telephoto lens. Anyone got suggestions as to which is the best?

    I was going to purchase the Raynox 1540 pro for the telephoto is this good? or is the sony one better?

    Also I heard that there is a flip lens that has the wide and telephoto lens built in together. Anone know who makes this? And where they sell it? I have googled all possible names for it and couldn't find it anywhere.

    thanks in adavance for all the help.

    By the way I did do a search and read many post already.
    Lensmate
    Raynox
    etc
    just wanted some extra suggestions / help if possible

    Thanks again

    got meself a Raynox DCR-6600 wide angle converter. It's very nice. got a bit of barrelling.

    I suggest getting a DCR-250 macro lens as well. It'll make you smile :-).

    DanielLg can you post some pictures with the regular zoom of the camera vs with the sony tele lens please? I want to see what is the difference and how much more zoom you can get.

    Thanks a bunch!

    You wont see much difference based on my shooting syle and subjects except that things are a bit closer . The only thing you'll notice with my shots is that th e TC tends to resolve better. Almost all my moon shots were done with the TC.

    This one is just 12x without the TC



    This one is with the TC


    The TC brought out much more defined details specially in the area with craters

    So just wondering *newbie question* with a telephoto lens.. you are able to get much closer to the subject or what your shooting then the 12x right? There is some difference but not a whole lot is what im reading right?
