Panasonic DMW-LT55E Teleconverter FZ150/100/48/45

excellent, efficient service; couldn't ask for anything more

De lens geeft je camera een extra telebereik. Ik heb prachtige foto's gemaakt van o.a. roofvogels. Een nadeel is dat je relatief veel tijd nodig hebt om de camera klaar te maken. Lens er op draaien en de conversie wijzigen.Doe dit dus voor je vertrekt. Het resultaat is verrassend! Een goede voordelige uitbreiding van je camera mogelijkheden! Echt een aanrader!

I BOUGHT THIS TELE CONVERSION LENS (TC) TO USE WITH A NEWLY PURCHASED PANASONIC FZ50. YES, IT DID BRING THE SUBJECT IN CLOSER BUT I FOUND THAT BY TAKING THE 'SAME' SUBJECT WITH AND WITHOUT THE TC LENS I COULD GET THE EXACT SAME RESULTS IN PHOTOSHOP WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LOSS OF IMAGE SHARPNESS.

My wife finds this so quick and easy to fit to her FZ50. Really does get that much closer.

If you have an an FZ50, this is your only telephoto option. Optically, it works quite well, with good sharpness across the entire lens, but some of the mechanical aspects of it could have been better done. The main problem with it is that since the FZ50 has a fixed lens, the tele-converter attaches to the camera lens by screwing onto the filter thread. These are very fine and delicate but the size of the converter makes it quite easy to accidentally damage them by cross-threading if the user is not very careful when attaching it. That said, this is a worthwhile upgrade. The optical quality is much better than a typical tele-converter and the boost in focal length it provides it startling. Be sure to check your camera's manual again before using it the first time--there are some menu settings you will want to change for best results but there's no mention of that in the documentation that comes with the converter.
