A70 zoom

[murph00009]

This is probably a stupid question but does anyone know how i could improve the zoom on my A70, for instance, is there an addon i could get for it, like an extra lens or something, and if so, is it easy to install? and how much would one cost?

You need a lens adapter (arnd $20) - from Canon is LA-DC52C. Lens adapter is a tube. Then you need a teleconventor lense.. there's so many 3rd party vendor like Kenko, Raynox etc. From Canon you can buy TC-DC52 (arnd $100). Must carefull when you buy 3rd party lenses, try it first.. A70 has 52mm mount.. the lens should fit to it. then you must try the lens itself, if not, you might be hit by problems like vignetting, purple fringing etc. I use Canon TC-DC52 although I want Olympus TCON17 first..

The installation procedure is simple, just remove the lens cap, plug the lens adapter then plug the lens on.
