I have a Canon A70 and I wanted to get a zoom lense for my camera. Can any of you give me some suggestions on what kind to get and where to get it.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Ben

The A70's primary lens is a zoom lens. Check your manual for information on the Canon lens adapters available (wide angle and telelphoto adapters). The store you purchased the camera from will likely be able to supply prices for them (not cheap) Other 3rd party lenses are available, but they may not provide near the same image quality, though they will be less money.

Sorry, I made a stupid mistake when I posted this topic. I meant I was looking for a closeup lense not a zoom lense. I mostly take pictures of my fish and I wanted a lense so that I could take pictures of the babies. I want to be able to take a picture of something that is 1/8th - 1 inch long. Sorry about the mistake.

Again your manual will describe the close up lens adapter available from Canon. You local store can give you a quote on it, and other close up filters sets. The Canon close up is double element so the quality should be pretty good.
What kind of fish do you raise?
