hi,
have brought a lovely Panasonic DMC-FZ7 a month or two back and whilst im impressed so far with its results, im looking into a wide angle lense as we're off to prague in six weeks time and im hoping to get lots of landscape-type pics aswell as the buildings etc
i know this camera takes addtional lenses but im a bit lost looking on ebay
however, i have seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/0-45X-WIDE-LENS-FOR-PANASONIC-DMC-FZ7-52mm-23_W0QQitemZ160107597048QQihZ006QQcategoryZ30070QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem which if my understanding is right, it's actually a wide angle lense AND a macro lense which can be detached
is that right? and could i also just use the macro lense on it's own without the wide angle and vice-versa?
to me it seems a good price £15 (without postage i know), any thoughts?

i may of answered my own question as this item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/52mm-Macro-Close-Up-Filter-for-Panasonic-DMC-FZ7_W0QQitemZ140107175016QQihZ004QQcategoryZ30066QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is just the macro lense on its own and looks identical to the macro one in the first link in my first post
again though, just want to ask if i buy the "joint" lense, ie that in my first thread, can i use BOTH independently?0
