Do be aware that some TC and WC addon lenses degrade the picture quality quite significantly. For these type of add ons, if you don't get the best (ie themost expensive int he range), there's a good chance the picture quality is going to suffer very badly.

I had one cheap one before, and boy, was it really bad.

Cheap does not always equate to good. I used te Raynox b4 and loved the shots taken.

Raynox lenses are Made In Japan, unlike other OEM brands where most are made in taiwan.
