 "Conversion lens" 2010-03-17
By Barbara J. Kohl (Paw Paw, MI USA)
This is my first conversion lens. I am a novice photographer. I am vhappy with the adapter but I wish I could use my UV filter with it.

By K. Layne (Damascus, OR United States)
I'm very pleased with the way this Tele Conversion lens works with my Lumix FZ18. I just spent a week bird watching and got some great results. Even in low light I was able to get very clear photos. I could not be happier.


 "The only choice for Lumix FZ30 or FZ50" 2009-08-24
By Sandra C. (Down Under, Western Australia)
A word of advise to anyone considering a no name or knock off version of this lens thinking you'll save some money; don't do it. I wasted my money on getting the non Lumix version of this lens, and was plagued by chromatic aberrations, severe blurring all around the edges, and over all poor quality.

The use of this proper Lumix OEM telephoto lens reduced the chromatic aberrations by 90%, and gave me clear, crisp photographs.

I heartily recommend this lens to any and all FZ30 and FZ50 owners.


 "Tele Conversion Lens for the Panasonic FZ50" 2009-01-10
By David Anderson-Tyrrell (California)
My wife finds this so quick and easy to fit to her FZ50. Really does get that much closer.


 "Decent unit, minor flaws" 2009-01-04
By Carl A. Maniscalco (San Diego, CA USA)
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.
