• Drat.  Double drat!  

  Got the lens for my camera today.  I’d purchased a wide-angle lens and a 2X telephoto lens for my Kodak 7630.

  I wanted them for Charles’ graduation two weeks from today.  Unfortunately, since the lenses extend out so far, they block the flash. 

  Here’s a photo shot without the telephoto lens, with flash:

  

  Here’s the same shot with the telephoto lens and flash:

  

  Wow.  

  The wide-angle creates a ring around the edges:

  

  Though so long’s it’s outside, it does work:

  

  The telephoto works alright outside, but what good is that going to do me for Charles’ graduation, or the granddaughters’ dance recitals, etc.?  

  Plus there’s a set of three thin rings I’ve no idea what to do with at all.   They obviously can be attached to the camera, but for what purpose, I’ve no idea. 

  Should have just popped for a camera with a better telephoto lens capability and had done with it, but no-o-o-o….I decided to show fiscal prudence by simply buying lens attachments.  Pfui, as Nero Wolfe would say.
