If you can find an adapter for the 4300 (I am sure you can), you might consider Nikon's WC-E24. This lens is small and of light weight. Very sharp with noticeable barrel distortion. It brings you a 24mm focal length. In fact, there are only two such wonderful lenses: the discontinued WC-E24 and the newer, larger and heavier WC-E68. So, try eBay to find one which usually has a price tag around $80USD. See my Coolpix 4500 user guide for more details about this lens.

Shene many thanks for your reply, jorg

Jorg,

Depending on your use, that's what I'd recommend a Nikon lens too. I had a previous post with my 4300 and a Digital Optics wide-angle lens. Cheap, but poor quality on anything over 4 x 6.

Or a Nikon 0.63x Wide Angle Converter WC-E63
