Minolta X, Xt, Xg lens cover - I have a Minolta Xt and messed up the lens cover using a large lens pen to clean the lens the other day when I got some rain drops on it. I evidently knocked the lens cover off the track. I called around and the best price to get it fixed was $45.00.

canon a85/a95 - I'm about to buy one of these cameras but have a couple of concerns that you guys might be able to comment on. Firstly several reviews mention that the cover for the CF card slot is flimsy. Is this a real problem in practice? Second on the a95 how..

Canon G6 vs. Pro 1 - The Canon G6 or Canon Pro 1 Which is better for the money and why?

Canon Powershot A60 - I lost the shutter button for one of these cameras and cannon want to charge me for an entire new case just to replace the button. All it is is a push fit plastic button that presses on a switch down inside the casing. Anyone know where I can get hold of.

Canon S1 IS or Panasonic FZ3? - I've narrowed my choice down to these 2. I wanted a long, lens. I know they are both only 3 They are both the same price. Any opinions on which to get? Thanks

Is a 52mm threaded wide angle lens
wide enough for the Canon G1 / G2 image chip ?

I am very happy shooting with my Casio QV 4000,
which has the same popular lens mechanics and thread
as the QV 5700, Canon G1 + G2, Sony's DSC 85 etc.
Since I bought it, I wanted a wide lens of max 28mm.

Canons own wide angle lens WC-DC-58N is only factor 0.8x,
is bulky, heavy, costs ~150 $ and has a 58mm thread.

Kenko' wide angle lens KVC05N is wider at factor 0.5x,
has a smaller 52mm thread and costs 65 $, (43% of the Canon)

All of the above cameras need a tube-like lens adapter,
either threaded from 47mm to 58mm (for 58mm lenses)
or 47mm to 52mm (for Kenko, and other makes).

Does Kenkos wide angle lens KVC05N with 52mm thread
mounted via a lens adapter 47mm-52mm to the above cams,
produce enough angle without black zones on the image ?

I'd be happy to hear some experience *practically made*,
before I order "that nice Kenko" in doubt - hate that feeling ...
