Default b300 telephoto and dc58 wide angle for 707

I'm looking to buy the olympus b300 1.7x telephoto lens and canon wd-dc58 wide angle lens. Anyone knows the price?

Any 707 users has the experience of using these lenses and whether its good with the 707.

Something that I don't understand. Why don't you buy the sony's 1.7x teleconvertor instead?

Sony's teleconvertor is selling for US$400 on its website and that is ridiculous.
The B300 has been tried and tested with the 707 and is a perfect combination while Sony's teleconvertor has either not yet arrived in Singapore or just arrived so no one knows how good it is yet.

I see... 400 USD is really daylight robbery. That's one of the main reason why I didn't buy Sony cam... everything proprietory and ridiculously expensive. However, since it's made for F7x7, I'm sure it should be good. I own G2 with 49 mm lensmate adaptor and I'm looking for B300's smaller cousin, A200. I wonder where got lobang.

Its not neccessarily good if its made by Sony. The wide angle lens that Sony made for 707 has been reported not to work very well with it and the more popular choice is Canon's DC58 thats why I'm looking for that one.

Any body wants the Canon DC58 wide, it is actually a good lens.
I am also letting go of this one.

Sony has a new teleconverter that's meant for F717. It might be cheaper than the current highend one (which Cathay Photo quoted SGD440 in June).

Thanks to all for the enquiries

I have already promise one others who contacted me earlier on the B300 (first come first serve) so left only the Canon wide. I really don't know how much to sell it quote your reasonable price and I can consider.

Thanks

Best regards
Dennis
