Is It Closer? I Still Can't Tell

I bought the Opteka 2X Telephoto lens for my Olympus C-8080 Camedia Digital Camera so I could zoom in closer to my subject or scene. Unfortunately, I have not noticed much of, if any useful difference in the closeness of the subject or scene. And the...

Don't waste your money

First off, this wide angle converter is NOT made specifically for your digital camera. The only match is the thread size. I bought this for my Olympus 8080 (not sure why it came up with this other designation) and it causes vignettting (cutting off of...

High Quality at less than half the price of other lenses.

The pictures I have taken with the Opteka lense are excelent. It is a quality lense at half the price of other lenses. It comes with the adapter which other manufactures charge you a extra $20.00. You can purchase both the telephoto and wide angle...
