Congrats on the kit. From what I've read, a lot of people don't shoot with the aux. lens just because their not really wide or tele or worth the trouble.

I've shot with them once, and I found the experience to be very fun. Well, it was fun times to begin with. I used a cable release shutter and just started snapping every so often during a get together at my house.

Here's 2 examples.

Tele:



Wide:




I have used the Oly XA (a 35mm, wider than the aux wide) for similar instances with the timer, but the damn beeping it makes while counting down caught too much attention. The cable release shutter was slightly more incognito


Have fun with yours. I plan on using mine more.

It is real!, they are not really wide or tele, especially the tele lens. I bought this kit mainly because of the wide angle lens, it make the lens become 37.7, it is close to 35mm and it viewfinder acan also match with my Jupitar-12( 35mm), so i can save the money for a Russin 35mm viewfinder!!!

The wide angle lens adapter is definitely the more useful of the two. Still, they're a fun set to have.
