It might be a nice lens, but I'll never know since the "features" listing is completely wrong. It is:
- for a 52mm size lens, not a 37mm
- a telephoto lens, not a wide-angle
OK, I knew about figured it was a telephoto lens, based on the item name, but still, somebody got me this off my wishlist, and now it has to be returned.

I stumbled across this lens (that I already own) while searching through the Clearance-Priced photo items at Amazon.com. The one-star rating somebody gave it bothered me.
A one-star review of this item for the reasons given is unfair. The ratings should be for the product quality and value, not for mistakes in the web page.
This is a fine lens and an EXCELLENT deal at the current clearance price.
No, it does not fit a 37mm lens diameter or provide a 0.6X wide-angle view as mentioned in the Features. As the Manufacturer's Product Description on the same page says: it fits a 52mm lens diameter and enlarges up to 2X the normal image, providing telephoto capability.
And mine does a nice job of that, hence the five-star rating.
It's not even fair to zing Amazon on this. Sure it was their mistake on the web page that annoyed the "One-star" buyer, but hey, anybody can make a mistake. For the thousands and thousands of products these guys sell, you've got to expect a couple web page errors. Nobody is perfect.
And my experience in dealing with Amazon.com tells me that there was absolutely no hassle and no cost in returning the item to Amazon. Their return policies and customer service are excellent. Therefore, they too deserve five stars, even with the mistake in their web page.
In summary, if you need a teleconverter adapter for your Sony DSC style camera that takes 52mm diameter attachments, this is the one to get. Better hurry, though - if it is "clearance" priced, it won't be around forever.

I used this teleconverter on Sony's dsc-70 digital still camera and I am still using it on the dsc-75 and with success. It lengthens 105 mm zoom to 210 mm! AF and shutter/diafragma program functions stay perfect - I do not understand why Sony does not recommend it for still cameras; the only limitation is that you cannot zoom fully out (to maximum whith) because then vignetting occurs. But that can be seen on the camera's back screen so that you exactly know the limits, too.

This lens is a 52mm mount for 8mm camcorders only. I don't know who put this in the digital cameras, but obviously they don't have a clue. I have to return mine!
