Kodak dx7440 close up lenses?

[A\/enger]

i just purchased this camera and there are these close-up lenses that I can purchase. Ebay has them for the best price. lenses (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67345&item=3879841966&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V) Are they worth buying for close-up shots? Anyone have this camera? I was looking at the 7630 and 7590 but I got this one for the price-point.

i looked at the specs on this camera and it looks like there are no threads on the lens, so you won't be able to screw filters onto the front. i couldn't tell if you can use an adapter to screw onto the camera... usually that feature is listed on the review [the need for an adapter to use filters] so that leads me to believe you cannot. if that's the case then you'll have no way of attaching the close-up filters to the lens- aside from holding them there or taping them on... both less than ideal options

Darn ebay scams... thanx for the response.

You should still be able to get some real nice close ups without the other lenses. I use the Kodak DX6490 and love it. I have posted some pictures in this forum and get quite a few compliments.

that seems pretty outrageous that they would list filters for that specific camera when it does not even take filters... but maybe i'm wrong [or the review i read was wrong]. i'm going to the Kodak website to check this out..............................................
well, that's what i get for believing reviews :p
good news- there are threads for accessory lenses [filters, wide angle or telephoto adapters].
you can get the Kodak adapter (http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-locale=en_US&pq-path=2328) and that will take 37mm filters. if you get that one the ebay filters will be too big- they were 52mm as i recall.
glad we got to the bottom of this :D
