Since the A40 / A60 / A70 was a popular gift this year, beware lens kits on ebay in less than 52mm!

There are 4 main items for these cameras

TC-DC52 Tele conversion

WC-DC52 Wide angle

LA-DC52X adapter (X = A, B, C, D depending on the model camera you have, A70 is 'C')

250D Closeup lens

Now these aren't cheap (about $100 a pop for the lens and the adapter is under $20 to use the lenses)....however many vendors are offering $100 and less kits including all lenses which seems like a deal, but they are offering 37mm lenses....almost half the diameter and much less powerful as far as light capture...

So buyer beware! I talked to one guy that didn't specify 37mm or 52mm (they look like the 37mm ones, but he said 'exactly like canon's lenses' and he didn't answer my questions at all just saying he will guarantee they work with my camera.....)
