Frequently Asked Questions...
Will this wide angle lens fit my camera?
Ok so this Ebay auctions says: '52mm Wide Angle Lens for Nikon D40 D40x D60 18-55mm'... I have a Nikon d60 with a 18mm-55mm lens. I was wondering if this one will fit because it says its a 52mm and at the same time says 'for Nikon...D60 18-55mm...please help!

Answer:
The seller is referring to the filter thread diameter when He/She talks about 52mm, they could be talking about a wide angle adapter, if so it should be cheap.
An adapter is not as good as a genuine wide angle lens, you are looking for a lens with a focal length smaller than the 18mm wide angle lens you already have, usually around 10mm or so.
Wide angle lenses come in different types you can get a fisheye wide angle lens or a rectilinear type. A fisheye distorts any strait line towards the edge of a scene into a curve (like looking through a goldfish bowl), the rectilinear keeps a strait line strait at the expense of some focal length, so a 10mm fisheye will have a wider field of view (almost 180°) than a 10mm rectilinear (around 110° not much more than your 18mm).
Adapters are usually of the fisheye type.
