Can someone please give me some recommendations on a w/a for the DSCF717? Ive can get my hands on a Sony VCLMHG07A (0.7x) for a fairly cheap price? has anyone had experience with this lens? IS it good?
What other lens' should I look at?
Also, if I put a 2x teleconverter on the camera, does it give it a psuedo 10x optical zoom?
SOrry, im not very good with lens & converters.
PS: Oh, and if anyone has good recommendations on filters, i'd love to hear them too :)
Thanks guys |

I bought a 81c warming filter for my 707 and it does wonders for portraits and sunsets. Helped get me first place for the song challenge. Plus I use a 72mm UV, polarizing, sepia and ND filter that fits my 35mm but I have converters for my sony. All of them are good except I dont use the sepia too much cause photoshop does that for me. Hope that helps.

thanks heaps. I really have very little idea about filters and the like. does it affect the autofocus ability of the camera?
a mate of mine has a fuji 602, and with a UV on, the autofocus took longer and was slightly off occasionally |

i would go with the VCLMHG07A, I have one and the quality of the pics is nice...
but I would not buy a 3x teleconverter....stick with one thats between a 1.4 or a 1.7x.
anyone saying they have a 3x is using a very thin line of deception to "sell" you on the product. Even some 2x's are not a true 2x, but a 1.7x "claiming 2x capabilities....
there are very many camera stores that are rip off's or scams...so be carefull

I am using a Raynox DCR-1850Pro 1.85x teleconverter and I have been happy with it. The one drawback is that it works best with the aperture set to between F5.6 and F8 to minimize chromatic distortions. I used it for my 'Newyears at the Needle' shot and it worked just fine. I haven't yet purchased a wide angle lens but I will most likely get the VCL-MHG07A from Sony. I found it for $114.95 from B&H which is $35 less than Sony's prices. I wish I had gotten the wide angle lens first because I know now that I would use it much more then the teleconverter.
