Just learned that Tiffen will be introducing a new line of lenses including the 2x Telephoto in ~2 weeks (~May 15).

It will be far more improved over current models. Supposedly no distortion, vignetting, etc.

List price: $ 99.95

Size: 43mm

They will also have a $20 adapter at that time for it.

Haven't found out yet what will be needed for adapting to Lensmate.

The samples I have seen at dpreview.com show slight vignetting. But the Tiffen kit is great value for money - 2x zoom, .5x wideangle, adapter, stepdown ring and case for (I think) $130. Sadly only available in the US! Lots of discssion of this at dpreview.

I believe the Tiffen thread is 43mm, so a step-down ring would be required with the Lersmate or Canon adaptors. Question: would the vignetting be caused by the step-down?

regards,
Paul

strange... i spoke to a tiffen rep yesterday... he also happens to be a g1 owner, and he says that the only new thing they have coming out is the tube... supposively the megaplus 2x is the latest out for a while...

well, if they make a nice lens, i'll probably end up getting it...
