Tiffen 2x is good but got vignetting a little bit.... pictures quality are good.

Tiffen 0.75 for wideangle.. small lighter compare to Olympus one (claim to be the best)

Thanks for your reply. I saw one wide lens at CP and it's have 2 layers, if you seperate them, the bottom part is Macro lens, above part is wide lens. I only see the brand is Kenko. But the model I didn't notice. Do you think this good?

As far i know you can only get the original canon in singapore and one more brand, can't remember..... which i think is lousy

I saw the Kenko in japan claim to be good too, because no vignetting but the magnifaction Tiffen is better.

Tiffen you can get it only in US
Kenko in japan you can find it easily in yodobashi, sakuraya, bla bla ...

Maybe try your luck by buying online or ebay? not sure le...

sorry can't really help.

Cheers,
Irvan
