Canon TC-DC58C Tele Converter Lens for Canon A650IS, G7 & G9 Digital Cameras Reviews
I was a little skeptical when I purchased this lens for my G9. It looks a little funny connected to the camera but no more than the pros look with their 800MM lenses at the super bowl (just a much smaller scale). So at the wider angles it's like looking through a tunnel with the image in the center of a dark tube. In the end, I'm very happy with it. just screws right onto the necessary converter.
It works great.no complaints and gives you a 400MM capability on the G9. You need to know that this basically just extends the focal lenth by 2X at the high end. But once you get toward the telephoto range you "zoom out" of the tunnel and get the full effect of the lens. Partly because the camera is about the same size, if not smaller and also because I have a very capable DSLR with great lenses too. It's easy to put on and take off.
It doesn't make the wide angle half as wide (like making a 35MM a 70mm).
As I had read in other reviews prior to my purchase, the built in flash of my G9 cannot be used with the lens due to the shadows produced, so this is really limited to outdoor use (or a large indoor space with good lighting). Would recommend to others. Overall, very happy with the lens. I have used the tripod and some of the pictures have been amazing (sunrises, swim meet, baseball game). Just purchased this lens a month or so ago, and used it on vacation and a few other events. Sturdy and good weight to it - just what you would expect from a Canon lens. Due to the weight of the lens, a tripod is helpful in keeping the camera still.
Be sure to use it with bright sunlight, or use a tripod. However, with this lens added to the G9 lens, you do not have a fast low-light combo. This teleconverter works great with my Canon G9. I may have to break down and get one for myself now. Use an external flash if you must use flash. Also, if you intend to use flash, realize it will be blocked by this lens.
They took almost twenty days to send my order. Except for the problem of slow delivery, I'm happy with my purchase. Also, I ordered the conversion lens adapter, but amazon did not have it on stock. The lens is a great accessory for my Canon G9.
Canon TC-DC58C Tele Converter Lens for Canon A650IS, G7 & G9 Digital Cameras Large, heavy, high-quality 2X Telephoto Conversion lens for Canon A650is Digital Camera. Because of size, for flash photography consider an auxillary flash such as Canon High-Power HF-DC1. Requires a lens adapter. If you plan to use this a lot, a Canon Digital Rebel would be a more logical camera. Durable draw string bag, holds lens with adapter attached, included.
