Photo Forum / Digital Photography / ZLR Cameras / February 2006DMW-LT55 (Tele) for the FZ230 - any good?
I'm somewhat of a photo newbie so all input is welcome? Kind regards Bruno >I'm somewhat of a photo newbie so all input is welcome? You mean the FZ30? You have enough telephoto with the FZ30 that you shouldn't need anything additional. Don <www.donwiss.com/pictures/> (e-mail link at page bottoms). > You mean the FZ30?

And it may not really be because I need more telephoto but that doesn't stop me from wondering. Kind regards Bruno > I'm somewhat of a photo newbie so all input is welcome? There are tests of various tele-converters on the FZ30 at this page: http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/User-Guide/FZ-30/index.html > There are tests of various tele-converters on the FZ30 at this page: > http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/User-Guide/FZ-30/index.html Thank you very much. That was very usefull. Mvh Bruno If you are really concerned about the range of various telephotos longer than the maximum the FZ30 provides you should consider either a Nikon D50 or a Canon DRXT. With either of these you could match the focal length you want and have all of the additional features a DSLR offers. >> There are tests of various tele-converters on the FZ30 at this page: >> http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~shene/DigiCam/User-Guide/FZ-30/index.html [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Bruno > If you are really concerned about the range of various telephotos > longer than the maximum the FZ30 provides you should consider either > a Nikon D50 or a Canon DRXT.

Cost, size, weight, dust problems etc. Two different solutions - each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Which is best depends on what you are trying achieve and how deep your pocket is.

If you rarely change your lens you wouldn't have a problem. For example, if you had the Nikon 18-200 VR lens you most likely wouldn't be changing it too often.

Yes, it's good. It's nice to not have to use an adaptor ring, but it is a fairly large heavy chunk out there on the end of the already long lens. You will need a tripod--the ois isn't magic. Have a look at the web site mentioned and decide for yourself (I sometimes don't agree with the author's judgements of his photos, but maybe it's just the web conversion). The usual problems with add-on telelenses are blurred edges and more chromatic aberration. The LT-55 is pretty good in this regard. The longer lenses get, the more the contrast softens, so don't expect extreme telephoto shots to be as crisp as wide angle. |
