Hi, I am looking for some advices on the differents available wide angle solutions.
I could buy the Canon 3X, but an adaptor like the .6x and .7x from century optics is appealing since I could use it with the stabilizer of the 16X auto or the manual controls of the 14X lens, two characteristics which are not present on the 3x.
Now, I heard that since the bayonet mounts of theses two lenses are differents, Century optics provide adapters specifically made to be installed on one of the two lenses but cannot function with both. Is there a threaded version which can work on the two lenses?
I have another question concerning the zoom-through capabilities. About the .6x, century optics claims that "It allows partial zooming up to 8X while in Auto Focus". Does that imply that no zoom is possible with the manual lens?
Thanks for your advices,
