Hello fellow photographers.

I would to hear from users of a x 0.7 superwide (add-on) lens that fits on the standard 18-55mm (standard lens).
A friend told me he wanted a wide angle lens for his Nikon D3100.
I have shown him a similar (video) x 0.6 lens which I adapt on my 50mm MF lens of my SLR, which does the job nicely and saves space in my heavy bag (which holds the other camera loaded with the b/w film, two zoom lenses, two flashes and some other bits: lightmeter, shutter trigger, etc).
I just saw the RK photographic sell this one I am telling you about, (fits Nikon, Canon, Pentax) for £69.99.
If you have purchased it, can you please let me know are you happy with the pictures taken with it?
Or would you rather prefer you had saved the money for a "proper" wide lens instead of this a converter? My frined wishes to use it for architecture and outdoors shots. His budget (currently) can't afford it as an "impulse" purchase...
