  • Also works (with care) on a DSLR!!
I initially bought this little gem a few months ago for a Canon S5IS. It worked well - sharp, clear results at the S5's higher focal lengths with an increase in maximum optical zoom from the built-in 12X to around 20X, without seeming to slow its speed. At the camera's lower focal lengths, below 7X or so, there's a tunneling effect in which the sides of the Sony's tube are visible. But I expected that, and it's hardly a negative. I bought this to increase maximum zoom, not to use at lower focal lengths. Very satisfied! DSLR Application: I also use an Olympus DSLR with one of its lenses being a 40-150mm kit zoom threaded for 58mm front filters. Hmmmm, I thought, perhaps the Sony VLC-DH1758 might work here as well. Mounting was easy and felt relatively stable. Photo use was outstanding! No tunneling anywhere, sharp clear results with minimal CA, and a nice focal length increase. Auto-focus and metering worked seamlessly in every mode I tried. Since Olympus builds image stabilization into the camera body (not the lens), camera shake wasn't a problem. Finally, though it's not really logical, the speed of the lens actually seemed faster with the converter mounted than without it. A Few Negatives: 1 -- At full extension, the combination reaches out about 8 inches from the Olympus body and needs a hand under the middle to support it. 2 -- It takes some time to hook everything together. 3 -- It's probably not good to wag it around fast to capture a hunting falcon -- something expensive could break. 4 -- There's no pro or con guidance - I've not seen this potential DSLR application mentioned anywhere. Bottom Line: For occasional use where higher optical zoom is desired, and fast camera movement isn't needed, I think this could be a nice added application for the Sony tele-conversion lens. It's far from perfect, but especially for folks with a DSLR lens that accepts 58mm filters, it sure beats spending many hundreds of dollars for a new lens with equivalent zoom range if you just need it occasionally. However, if you're a dedicated birder, need OEM ruggedness, or don't want to deal with the risk of something breaking, ignore this suggestion entirely! ... show more

  • Eagle eye lens!
I can spy on my daughter and her boyfriend from a distance with this lens and take incriminating photos to support the grounding she may or may not deserve….

  • No Go
I am unabnle to say if the lens is god or bad, because there needs to be an adaptor ring with it. I was unable to get the correct ring, although the dealer did try. Sorry, but I had to return it. Th return was handled in a timly manner. Thanks.

  • Not For DSC-F828
I ordered this lens on the hope and chance that it might work on my DSC-F828. It does properly screw on to the DSC-F828's filter threads, but nope, the lens doesn't work acceptably with the F828. With this lens mounted on the F828, there is from extreme to just noticeable vignetting with the camera's lens set from full wide angle to _almost_ full telephoto. If I turn on the F828's 2X digital "zoom", then there is no noticeable vignetting, and results in an effective focal length "zoom" range of about 95mm - 680mm. But I prefer to not use digital "zoom". 3 stars because it seems to be a good lens, just not for me on the F828. ... show more

  • Sony VCL-DH1758 works for DSC H50
I was late in the game on finding a Tele lens for my Sony DSC H50. The official tele lens for DSC H50 is no more available at Sony. Therefore the price of that in the market is very high ($200-$300). So after going through all the reviews on Sony VCL-DH1758 Tele Lens, I purchased this. As this is 58mm and H50 adapter is 74mm, I got a 74-58 mm step-down ring for $4.00 from ebay. This product came on time and I received the step-down ring also. They nicely paired without any issues and fit with my DSC H50. This gives me additional zooming to my existing 15X zoom and I am totally happy with this lens. Before this, I tried a 3.5x tele lens (vivitra) and it didn't work at all and I had to return it. I used this for over a month and got decent pictures. I am happy for my purchase :) ... show more

  • Excellent Lens
I recently purchased this lens for my Sony DSC-H10 digital camera. I have to say, it is amazing! I'm not sure if it is truly 1.7x, but if not, it is most definitely 1.5x. Either way, it turns my 10x H10 into a 17x camera and does so with little distortion. There is some slight color separation at the edges, but that is to be expected with a zoom of this magnitude. I would have posted my own pictures but there is no need as what this lens can do is perfectly illustrated by the two pictures of the crane submitted by users. The one is at 10x, the other 10x + 1.7 Tele (17x). This lens feels as though it is made with good quality, not just some cheap Chinese knock-off. It screws into the lens adapter that comes with your camera very easily. I would strongly suggest this for anyone interested in getting very close to their subject without getting physically close. Great for distance shots and smaller objects out of reach such as birds or ships. Strongly recommended. ... show more

  • Excellent addition
I bought this tele converter because it is a powerfull multiplier of my Canon S3IS already powerfull zoom. Many think 1.6-1.7x is as much as you can magnify your zoom power without affecting image quality, and that kept me from buying a converter with a bigger multiplier. Altough this may not be true for other cameras, it seems to be the case for the Canon S3IS. I like the great compatibility between this converter and my camera's optics, which is key when buying one (Not all converters work well with every camera and some even degrade the image quality, making it less crisp, generating artifacts and color fringing/aberration). This one comes with covers/protectors for both ends (the small one even fits in the lens adapter) and it has a padded protecting pouch (Nice and convenient, even if it goes into a carrying bag). So far, I haven't seen anything with this converter that makes me want to trade for a different one, so I widely recommend it. ... show more
