Product Description

Since it fits right over your camera's existing lens system a wide-angle and telephoto converter affects the full zoom range of your camera's lens. A wide-angle converter increases your angle of view - scenes include more of the landscape groups include more people and interiors show more of the room. A .45x wide-angle converter DOUBLES your angle of view allowing you to get twice as much in the picture (AND your telephoto setting also becomes wider; not zooming in as close). A 2.2x converter will double your camera's maximum focal length bringing things twice as close. An Opteka conversion lens can actually improve the image that your digital camera receives and it's about the only accessory that can. By eliminating flare and ghosting the ugly cousins of reflection and refraction before they get to your camera's original lens system your camera gets a much cleaner image to digitize. Plus an Opteka converter allows you to use a more optimal part of your original lens system resulting in more crisp imagery. Enjoy all of the benefits of the Opteka HD² .45x Wide Angle & 2.2x Telephoto Professional Lenses plus you get the Following Brand New Items: Opteka High Definition² Pro Filter Kit (UV Polarizing and fluorescent) a Lens/Filter Adapter for your camera Opteka Tabletop Tripod 5 Piece Camera & Lens Cleaning Kit 53" Deluxe Professional Video/Camera Tripod and a Deluxe Carry-All Camera Case. Increase your cameras capabilities with this full accessory kit! Opteka lenses and filters are covered by a lifetime warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY--does not work with the camera!, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Nikon Coolpix 8800 Digital Camera HD² Professional Accessory Kit (Electronics)

Each of these attachments comes with an adaptor, and the wide angle won't fit on its adaptor; it will however fit on the camera lens itself, but when attached, gives nothing but a blurry mass. (Both adaptors attach via the ring outside the base of the camera's lens.) The other attachments will go on its adaptor, but when mounted to the camera, it is so short that when the camera is turned on and the camera's lens can't extend fully to the "on" position, and there is a "lens error" message displayed, rendering that attachment useless as well. I tried every configuration possible, and nothing made these attachments work. I even took pictures in every configuration that would allow me to (you cannot take pictures with a lens error message), and everything was just a blurry blob. To add insult to injury, 47th Street Photo made it very difficult to return anything, and I had to pay almost $20 to ship back a defective product, and they refused to refund my return shipping. I will NEVER buy from them again.

do not fit correctly. I am disapoointed with that part of the product - rest of kit seems fine.
