Tele Converter S2 problem

[mermoz]

Hey, guys!

I just bought a 2x Tele converter for my S2.
It's called Giottos LN 58201AS, and it sais it doubles the maximum focal length of my digital camera, that is 2x, right?
As I see it, the original 12x optical zoom of my camera should become 24x.

I made 2 pictures from the same distance, with full optical zoom, one with my new tele lens (first attached image),

...and one without it (second attached image).


The first shows 12*16 cm, and the second 14*19 cm.
That is not 2x, right?
The difference between the two is not that evident, it certainly doesn't look like the focal length would be double.

Do I miss something here?

The second image looks clearer - are you sure you didn't apply any digital zoom in the first image?

also some teleconverters and wide angle lenses dont work very well with the S2.

I tried a 3X teleconverter and couldnt get it focused.

lakiluno, I am pretty sure I did not use digital zoom. It can be blurry, however, because I didn t use a tripod and I didn t pay too much attention.
