http://www.cs.mtu.edu/~s....00.html TCON-300 is a telephoto attachment lens for the Olympus E-10 and E-20 cameras. When fitted to the front of the built-in lens, it will enlarge its focal length by a factor of three, i.e., to 108 mm which is equivalent to 420mm/2.8 on a 35-mm film camera. It can also work on other camera's like Nikon coolfix 5700 and the Panasonic FZ-30 and ...

Found a used Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS on Craigs List today. Was trying to talk myself into getting something cheaper. Knew that I would not be happy with anything else. You get what you pay for. One word....heavy. The bugger weighs 3.2 pounds. But, it is razor sharp! Now I need to learn how to use it. Not sure what all of those buttons on the side mean.

I have the 24-70mm f/2.8 and it has been working great. In the beginning i was skeptical about focusing problems, but everything seems fine now. I really want the 70-200 f/2.8, but don't have the $$$ to get it now and really want a telephoto lens. I was wondering if you have the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens and your thoughts about it. I have heard pretty good reviews. Maybe ...

Hi guys, I have a 450D and so far, only have the stock lens that came with it i.e. wide angle (not sure about the model number). Anyway, with Christmas approaching I am looking to get a telephoto lens. Nothing too expensive but a reasonably good quality one. I have very little knowledge about the lens market and would appreciate some advice from you fine gentlemen and ladies. ...

First of all we are new to DSLR. We have a new Canon T1i DSLR with a EF-S 18-55mm and EF-S 55-250mm lenses. I also purchased a Bower 650-1300mm lens for very distant wildlife photos. I'm thinking I need something a little more than the 55-250mm for zoom pictures while still keeping it where I don't need a tripod as with the Bower 650-1300. I tried a Quantaray 70-300mm but that doesn't seem ...

can't remember, xt or xti, my brothers wife bought it for him (10mp I think)? I'm a Pentax guy but my brothers wife wants to buy him a nice tele for imaging birds at their feeders for a Christmas present, she bought him the canon and i'm kinda lost for suggestions. I talked to her tonight and her max buget is $1500 but she would prefer to keep it under 1K and she doesn't mind me finding a used ...

I may be buying this soon, so will this work well as a good low light telephoto? **EDIT** Why may someone buy the 105mm over the 200mm? I am considering the 200mm now.

Need advise for a good starter telephoto lens. I was recently taking pictures at the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational here in Hawai'i when it became blatantly obvious that my Canon 28-135mm just wasn't going to cut it for what I wanted to photograph. I've been looking around for a decent starter telephoto lens but there are ...

I use a Pentax K100D. Looking for a telephoto lens to take indoor volleyball pics (low, crappy light, fast action, no flash). I was thinking of either the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro or the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II. I've read that the Tamron has better picture quality than the Sigma, but it has a slower, noisy focusing system, which might miss some pics when ...

WOW, Thanks for all the great information again!! You guys sure know your stuff!!! Those pics you guys took are GREAT!! So, what would be the lens to buy regardless of price for shooting wildlie out to 200 yards? Would the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM do fairly god work out to the 200 yard mark on deer size animals? Before this camera, I was using a Olympus C-770 and it has an 10X ...

One of my first telephoto zoom lenses was the 75-300 f4-5.6 non IS. The lens is very inexpensive and at the bottom of the line, however I have been able to get some great images with it. I have to admit that they are not as sharp as I would like like but for around 200 us dollars you can't complain. The IS version would make a big differance and would recommend getting that version. ...
Use the "Nikon Lens Simulator" to see what the difference between 105mm and 200mm would look like: Nikon | Imaging Products | NIKKOR Lenses Simulator If your looking at the AF DC-NIKKOR 105mm f/2D, it will perform nicely in low light and the De-focus Control function is sweet. It's a great portrait lens.

James - all lens choices are compromises involving, among other things, the price. Your Bower 650-1300 is a f8 maximum aperture lens. Thus, autofocus would not work on this lens, and as well, the lens is manual. You must be on a tripod because of small aperture and thus longer shutter speeds. That is the compromise you bought with that lens. Considering that 300 mm is only 20% more than ...
