Adding a Video Lens to a Canon DSLR

gaza4

hey guys getting a Canon 550d next week and just have a quick question. i have a video camera that has a 58mm thread for different lens and i have a wide angle and a fisheye similar to the pic below. just wondering is it ok (safe) to use these with the standard EF-S 18-55mm lens that comes with the 550d. i know they will fit being 58mm but they seem like they might be a little heavy maybe???

thanks!!!

These are converters, not lenses. It will be perfectly safe (assuming they connect up), you could probably suspend a person from those camera mounts*.



* Wild exaggeration, but they're damn sturdy, some lenses weigh more than a kilo.

ah converters, my bad!!! its not so much the mount on the camera body that i'm worried about, its the end of the actual lens itself. would it take the weight of these converters safely???
