I have a pretty easy question
Im trying to buy a Wide-Angle lens converter for my Panasonic Lumix FZ20, and have narrowed down the results to two lenses. One is the Sony VCL-R0752 lens converter which has a magnification of .7x and sells for $42 including shipping. You can see it at http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_Conversion_Lens_VCLR0752_Lens_Converter/display_~full_specs
The other is the Raynox DCR-5000 which has a magnification of .5x and sells for $82 including shipping, and you can see it at http://www.epinions.com/Raynox_DCR_5000__0_5x__Wide_Angle_Conversion__dcr5000_/display_~full_specs
Both are 52mm threaded, so theyd work with the adapter that Ill be buying for my Lumix FZ20 (I think), so the only difference that I can see between the two is that one has a magnification of .7x and the other of .5x. That and the price. So, could anyone here tell me which of the two would be a better buy? Would it be worth paying the extra $40 for the Raynox lens that has a wider angle? Would the quality between the two be any different? Thanks.
