Last weekend, I bought a 0.38x converter lens for just $5 at the 'Thieves Market' (you could say it's a flea market). Naturally, it isn't worth much more than those $5....

Today, I bought a step-down ring to be able to add it onto my existing 14-45mm lens, and went towards the Boat Quay area to take some first pictures with it. The results:

This is how much I see with the 14-45mm lens at 14mm regularly:
New Lens



Once I add the converter, I get this at 14mm:
New Lens
Already a lot more to see! But clearly, I can also see the inside of the lens....



If I zoom in a bit until I don't see any black corners of the inside of the lens anymore, I get this angle (24mm):New Lens
Still a lot more than at the regular 14mm.

 

Of course, you get what you pay for, so the quality is not really good if I use this lens. But given the extremly cheap price, it's a nice toy!
