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. Nothing changes the way you see the world like High Definition², and no company does High Definition² like Opteka. In the professional setting, Opteka's glass optics define High Definition. Change the way you view the world. Enjoy outstanding detail, enjoy enhanced clarity, enjoy Opteka.

The kit is great, it has all the items promised, and arrived with good packing.

The Samsonite bag:- Very good, very sturdy, waterproof and it is heavily padded on all sides for protection. It has the option of multichambering and customising the middle big chamber. has two side and one front pocket, all chained.

Lens CLeaning System:- is good. But how long will it last? The screen covers are useful.

2.2x Wide angle:- With my equivalent 38-380mm lens it gives me an effective 27-270mm, which was very essential for Panoromic and Wide Angle Photography. The lens system fits tightly with the adapter. It comes with rubber covers and in a small cute leather pouch.

Macro:- A part of the Wide angle lens seperates out to form the solo Macro lens and gives around a 1.8x times magnification (1.7cm from 3cm). My C-765 already had a great macro mode. It enhances it further with almost no extra barrel distortion.

2.2x Telephoto lens:- This transforms my 38-380 lens of Olympus C-765 to 56.3-563mm lens. This fits tightly too . The autofocus of camera works fine with this. However when I used this lens there was a marked fall of image contrast and depth. The image is sharp in the center but the image was blurred out at the corners. Also the camera becomes very very bulky, you surely donot want to keep this attached unless you are really doing some serious wild-life type photography. It is necessary to support my C-765 camera firmly when using this because there is no anti-shake feature. This lens comes in a small leather pouch as well. I find it a little inconvinient to use.

The 4ft stand: Great stand for the price, and they give you a jacket too (not waterproof). It is very lightweight and is fine for ligtweight cameras like C-765. If you are thinking of using this same stand for heavier SLRs, think again!

The 3"stand: It is almost useless! It cannot support the weight of my C-765 and is unstable.

The UV, Polaroid and Flourescent filters: The Polaroid filter is very useful for me since I got it. I didnot need to use the Flourescent filter because Manual White-Balance of my camera does a better job. All these lenses come in a small sturdy pouch easy to carry places in your pocket.

Problems:-
1) You cannot use the camera lens-cap with the UV or Polaroid filter on. So you cannot probably keep the filters on continiously as suggested in the Opteka advt feature.

2) There is a considerable fish-eye distortion when I used the UV and Polaroid lens. They are plane lenses instead of the more distortion reducing Concav0-convex type. The horizons are never straight, and I have to use a softwere to correct all my pics eventually.

3) The Chromatic abberation becomes very visible at times when I use the Wide-angle ot Telephoto attachment. There is also a marked loss of contrast and depth in the picture and increased barrel distortion. (More the number of lens, lesser will be the picture crispiness)

4) The Wide angle and more so the Telephoto lens make the camera bulky, and it doesnot fit into my waistpouch with them on.
