tele-photo lens and adaptor for a70

[tracy]

hello, does anybody have and use the 2x tele lens and adaptor for their a70? If so,how do you like it and is it worth the price? i ordered the adaptor for filters and was just wondering about the lens.i have a 300 and 600mm for my nikon and i really like the effects and close-ups i can get with those lenses. thank you for your response on the a70. i've really learned alot from this site.

Here are some of the pictures I took tonight of the moon with this. I have an A60, but I thing that they use the same telephoto. I really like and with the adapter you can use 52mm filters. I would buy it. I got both and a cleaning kit at B&H for about $132.

The smaller pic of the moon is a mess up. I loaded the wrong one. That is why it is blurry. I will fix that tomorrow. Sorry.

the pictures look nice. i also bought a step down ring for the adaptor,so i could use my nikon filters which are 55mm. i just have to watch how i focus so i down get vignetting.thanks again.

I have used the adaptor and the tele-lens in question. Go Canon; have shot about fifty test pictures. Results are pretty good. Landscapes look great....

Please let me know your experience.

I use my adapter with a .6x auxillary (that came from an old Kowa camera) as my normal lens. I also have a 1.6x auxillary. I love it. It makes me feel like a have a real camera. The only problem is I have to remove the auxillary lens when I want to use the flash.
