Where to find Rollei lens for digital camera?
Would any one knows please help? I've purchased a Nikon Camera with some additional lenses from "Campaq electronics"(but invoice shows company as Square United Cam) at #02-72 Sim Lim Square. Later on I found that the Rollei DSLR Pro wide converter w/macro 0, 5x 52mm has no proper package and no model number stated; what's more, I can't find any such similar product online or even on Rollei official website. The Square United Cam charged me $700+ for this lens (they claimed it's model RCML-05052B) and I now doubt about it.
A 0.5x wide angle accessory lens for 52mm filter thread should be able to fit your 18-55mm Nikon kit lens. The quality of these tends to not be very good, and the best of them is usually well under $100. As far as I can tell, a special high-quality version from Rollei does not exist. For about $700 a good camera store could have sold you a 10.5 mm Nikon fisheye lens that would have given you the hypothetical wide angle of the kit and accessory lenses, while giving you seriously good quality.
So, yes, it looks like you got cheated. You should pursue whatever consumer protection resources (if any) are available in Singapore.
If you have a SLR or DSLR camera and other maker/mount lenses, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters allow you to use your lenses on the film/digital camera body. Sharing lenses has some distinct advantages. Certain prime lens just can't be replaced, and you save cost of purchase lenses. -Fotodiox offers a range of adapter from large format to smaller format digital adapters. Adapting larger format lens, i.e., large format - medium format, medium format - 35mm, excellent edge-to-edge sharpness; and the smaller 24x36 mm image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration.
