Canon TC-DC58C Telephoto Lens (1594B001)

Tested with Lumix fz28. This lens does not cause the iA confused like other 2x plus tele-converter. The auto-focus time is a littel bit longer than the Panasonic DMW-LT55, but not by much. The image quality is much better than the Raynox DCR 2025Pro.

Pros: Durable; Quick Focus; Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Sharp Focus; Rugged; Strong Construction; LightweightThis lens has made it much easier to capture candid shots without having to be on top of your subject, spoiling the "surprize". It's use at partys & weddings has been a pure pleasure and has provided outstounding results.

This is a nice glas wich fullfill the promes of doubling your focal lenght. This is a nice option for G9 owners.

I took this lens on vacation and it does pull the images in well and zoom was great when mounted to my Canon G9. When zoomed out (wide) though you do not get a clean image, but more so a picture shooting down a tube. This can be an interesting effect as a frame, but the same can be accomplished with any photo software. I feel as though the lens should be a true 2X converter through the entire range of the zoom without loosing the edges and not just from the middle out. Although it is clear throughout the entire range. Leaving the adapter attached makes it fairly quick and easy to remove when needed and I found myself doing this frequently (especially at the Gator's Spring kickoff game). But being zoomed too deep sometimes made it a little difficult to follow the players, although I did catch a really nice photo of a return punt in hang time. Over all the adapter does perform well and I have been satisfied with the results. If you want to double your reach with nice results, the lens will serve it's purpose.

I use this to take amateur photos. It really makes my Canon G9 a cut above the rest.

We used the Tele lens to capture sport,s events and wide angle lens for family photo album.

Pros: Improves Product Function; Lightweight; Easy To UseCons: None I can think ofJust recently got this lens from Adorama. For all of the telephoto lens' I have used in the past, Canon, Nikon and Mamiya, for the price - it kicks (blank). I especially like the way it brings the subject in on the digital zoom feature on my Canon A650 IS, just incredible.

Pros: Easy To Use; Improves Product Function; LightweightCons: Hinders short rage shotsIt takes some time to learn what ranges of shots and functions work best with this lens, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Pros: Lightweight; Improves Product FunctionIt costs [$] and is well worth the price. And more. The thing is small, fast and sharp, a real bargain for the money. It takes some getting used to, and the small camera needs to be held REALLY still, but it is a good, useful addition to a great small camera.

So it is what it is. I bought this telephoto to attach to my Canon A650. Yes, you will need the adapter tube to attach this lens to your camera. Lens does exactly what it is supposed to do. Lens offers double the zoom and pictures are clear with no discernable distortion. You will need to zoom in quite a bit to avoid the vignetting. The lens is also massive and heavy. However all the bad aside, this lens complements my camera and allows me the opportunity to get shots that would otherwise not be possible.

Pros: Lightweight; Easy To Use; Improves Product FunctionThe Tele is good with some restrictions. Almost you need to zoom all the way before shooting (It does not work if you just zoom less than 2x). G9 does not allow you to use the 2.0x len with RAW setup.

I was pleasantly surprised by this lens - especially for a point and shoot camera.

Pros: Improves Product FunctionCons: No Consmakes the G9 even better.

Works as advertised

Bought this teleconverter to take pictures of far away objects, especialy birds, ducks, geese and other animals in general. It extends the reach of my G9 without compromise on picture quality. I am pleased with it. Could use a lens hood; wished Canon designed one for it.

What an outstanding addition to my G9. This has been a blessing for those situations where the camera zoom is just not enough. As with the G9 wide angle lens this one is also a must have. To be honest there have been several times that I would not have been able to get shot without it. This little gem has help turn several of my what would be good picture into excellent ones. Do yourself a favor and pick one up for your G9.

Pros: Robust construction; Durable; Improves Product FunctionCons: Difficult To UseExcellent product quality, difficult to put on camera, excellent photo quality.

Pros: Lightweight; Improves Product Function; Easy To UsePuts a dark circle around the picture when doing macro work.

tested with Sony DSC-H5 (require the adapter tube) with orwithout uv filter in between, AF fast and big aperture (80mmfront size, unlike those unbranded teleconverter with frontthread less than 70mm) , workable range 6X and above, easyto get blur background as per DSLR at telephoto side. Problems Encountered: To put uv filter in between the teleconverter and adaptertube (no problem with tube alone), need to add another 58mmfilter without glass so that the teleconverter can bemounted, as it has longer rear thread but bottom half of itno line.No front thread, unable to add filter Previous Equivalent Items Owned: third party brand 2X teleconverter, sony original 1.7x teleconverter
