A70 Lenses

[dgschaefer]

Hello,

I have an A70 and was wondering if anyone here has the accessory lenses? I've seen some on ebay by a company called "Crystal Vision Optics", but I can't find any info on them or customer reviews. Anyone here know? The proce is real good compared to the Canon.

Anyone buy the Canon lenses? I'd love some feed back on either. I came from a 35mm camera (Olympus IS-20) with a 28mm-110mm zoom and I miss the wide angle and would love a little more telephoto too.

Thanks!

I have the A70 with the TC-DC52.

What cha want to know bout it. Its really easy to put on and off (with the adaptor, screwing on and off is anoying), doesnt weight the camera to the front to much, mags by 2.4x. I'm happy with it, with it was something like a 5-8x but there to expensive, cant really use with ur hands and would have alot of vigeniting unless ur at fullish zoom.

Thanks, as far as what I want to know, good question! I guess I really want is help with the "Crystal Vision" products. I would love for someone to be able to tell me they're OK, or confirm my suspicions that you get what you pay for. They're about $90 + shipping on ebay for the tele, wide and the adapter. If I remember right, each Canon lense is around $100 and the adapter is $20. That makes the "Crystal Vision" stuff less than half! That makes me pretty suspicious.

I'm confident that I'd be happy with the Canon stuff, except maybe with the price. It's good to know that it doesn't make the Camera too front heavy.

Where'd you buy yours and what'd you pay for it?
