Wide Angle Lens question...?
I currently have a Nikon D3000 with the standard 18-55mm and 55-200mm kit lenses. I really want an ultra wide angle lens. I've been looking around and saw these things; like little attachments that you screw onto the end of your existing lens that converts it to wide angle. Here's an example:

What are the pros/cons of using a screw on attachment like that vs. buying a separate wide angle lens? I'm really not looking to spend $$$ on a new lens. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Attachments are noticeably less sharper, vignette, flare and do poorly in low light as well as bright light...

If you are only making 4x6 prints, or posting images less than, say 700 pixels wide/tall, then sharpness is not a huge issue, and you can use such attachments.
As a professional, I need sharp lenses so that my 8x10 images look good.
