Attaching external lense for your point 'n shoot digital camera...

[pandisal]

I'm thinking (actually already ordered) an attachment for my not so old (but old) Canon S400 digital camera so I can
attach different lenses (wide angle, tele etc). I know... probably everyone will say why not buy the SLR ones... hehe
just experimenting lang. Will post some pics on what's the result later...

does it work for other types of canon cameras like the A series i have an A610.

Canon A610 has much better lense adapter and supported by canon itself, the LA-DC58F Lens Adapter and its for lense size 58mm:

thanks for the reply... is this available in cebu? and how much?
okay, if i already have this, what converter lense would i purchase next so that i could take superb macro shots?

[pandisal]

I dunno kung naa ba ni sa cebu ron but you can try stores who sell digital cameras and lenses... but most of the accesories is always available at the Internet Store... pero bayad ka mahal sa shipping

[guyjasper]

let's say that i already got the lense adapter for my A610, what particular converter lense should i get next? i'm into macro photography.

how's your setup? complete na? what converter lense are you using? can you post sample pics?

duh... i'm so @#$@#% with the merchant I ordered for the adapter... ordered wide angle lense and the adapter, only sent me the lense without the adapter.... now how do I attach the lense if I don't have adapter? grrrrrr...... I ended buying a new camera with a thread on it's lense for lense attachment.. but still waiting for the adapter since I already paid for it for my old s400 ....

This two lense are wideangle lense and telephoto lense. One of the lense can be set
as a Wideangle lense and can be used for macro shots....

Here's what I got for a sample this morning when I got my adapter at the mail.....
