Konica Minolta ACW-100 Wide Angle ConverterStrengths: For the money, excellent. Good way of extending the use patterns for Dimage 7Hi, A1, and A2 Weakness: Cheap lens caps, no zooming possible, vignetting prevents use of front filter The optical quality is excellent for that sort of a product, costing barely more than a high-end filter of a diameter similar to the front lens of this thing. 90% of readers found this review helpful.

Konica-Minolta ACW-100 Wide-Angle Lens Adapter
Strengths: Superb optics - crystal clear optics with no vignetting.
Weakness: Lens caps could be better.
I've been using this adapter on a KM A200 creating 360° cylindrical panoramas where a larger field-of-view is desirable. The 0.8x lens factor give the A200 a HFOV of nearly> 70° and the resolution and clarity are superb from corner to corner with absolutely no vignetting. This is a great addition to the KM A200's already great GT lens.
It would have been nice if KM had included filter threads for the front lens. They probably weren't included because at 86mm, any filter would be thick enough to cause vignetting.
The only disappointment (and it's a minor one) are the plastic lens caps. While they do an adequate job protecting the lens, they seem a bit "economical" and flimsy.
A nice carry case with drawstring is included.
