entry level lens for finepix s5200

[diogo]

Hi, all
I am looking for tele and wide lenses for my new finepix s5200. There are just so many options and things to consider that I haven't been able to settle on one. Does anyone know of good brands/models that are not too expensive? I've seen some raynox moderately priced at ebay.
Thanks

The Olympus .08x one you can get off ebay for like 40 bucks shipped is regarded as the best. The kenko ones, and the other chinese ones are all pretty much garbage. The Fuji made lens is also top notch, but will cost you a lot more than the olympus.

There is a GREAT forum for the Fuji S5000/7000's, which obviously would be relevant to your 5200. I forget the url, so do some googleing

99.9% sure thats it Its been a long time since I had my S7000...


The wide lense I had was either a WCON-07 or WCON-08 I dont rememebr which. I paid liek 48 bucks shipped and it was AWESOME.

I used the FUJI tele extender, which IIRC was abotu 125 bucks? but well worth it. Dont buy the cheap kenko or otgher generic chinatown specials. Your pics will reflect the quality of the lens you buy. I had Kenkos and the pics from them were noticeably worse than the WCON and the fuji lenses.
