sony does sell the tele & wide angle convertors, HGL something something.. anyway you can search from the net... get the Tele convertor but not the wide angle, cos F828 is 28mm, and will vignet when you use that, the wide angle convertor is made for F717 which is 35mm widest (i think)

there isn't any sony fish eye, but i think raynox have or maybe somebody else makes one with a 58mm thread... as usual, it will cause vignetting as well i suppose.

Hi Alankpy, I won't recommend it even though the Sony Tele/Wide convertor lense are compatiable with F828.
The convertor lense are heavy and you need to hold between the convertor and the mount of the lense.

There is no fisheye lense for Sony F828.

Sony's wide and tele are good but like KT said it is heavy and also expensive. Maybe you want to look at the Olympus Tcon and Wcon. Much cheaper and quality is not too bad. It does cause vignetting but you can always shoot wide and then crop the pics.

Hi guys,

what about the Tcon from Canon, is it any good?

What other brands of Tcon will you guys recommend?

Thanks!

i will seriously recommend you get the Olympus TCON-14B. it is a superb piece of glass, in fact one of the best TCONs around and can be used if you buy a 58-62mm step-up ring.

think I saw someone selling it in sg yahoo auction.
