Is a macro lens needed for a wide angle add on?

Hi

I'm thinking of buying a Nizo.

I read somewhere that you have to set the lens to macro to use a wide angle add on lens.

Does this mean that if a camera doesn't have macro capabilty you can't use a wide angle?

I have a feeling that this might be true.

Yes,
If you're planning on using the Ultrawide lens III you'll need a camera capable of macro shooting. Beware of this when choosing a camera. The 801 won't work, but the 801 macro will. etc.

:?: Some macro lenses don't provide the ultra wide function to work well (e.g. most Bauer's).
