Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:
Superb! A really nice optic that opens up landscape and portrait options on my Coolpix 5000. Solid, great feel, and sharp images. Converts the Coolpix 5000 from so-so optics to an impressive optical system. If you like telephoto, then the Coolpix 5700 is much better, but the wide-angle performance of the Coolpix 5000 with the WC-E68 is great. I'm now waiting for a Subal housing to take the whole thing underwater, which is my ultimate aim.

Strengths:
Price, construction and optical quality.

Weaknesses:
Needs UR-E5 adaptor, screw threaded and not a bayonet, which would make things easier.

Similar Products Used:
FC-E8 fisheye.

Customer Service:
I haven't needed any!
