Ebay is evil.
on: May 07, 2006, 20:16:47 PM
Just setup some bids on this baby...



Heres the bit of bumpf thats needed...

Quote
The DCR-1850PRO converts the FinePix S5000 lens to 685mm (35mm film equiv.) focal length when attached at the most telephoto position


Yes yes... thats right... 685mm zoomage! :D

That would be sort of like this baby:

600mm Canon Lens



Granted... it doesnt have image stabilisation, and I think AF would struggle at lowlight at that length (just take a torch to light the target whilst focusing), but YEAAAAAAAA... 685mm babeh!! :D

That isnt the top one either :) there are better ones.

Oh and good thing about it, I keep my cameras F3.2 :) granted larger sensor on an SLR means itd outperform that F3.2 with an F4 or F5 but my ickle babeh will get close to it :) (its F3.2 at full tele before serious spouts of lumix stats :P).

Just hope I get it now :)

oh yeah... also put in a bid for one of these too..

DCR-720



little cheaper :) its a wideangle lens, will take my camera to a 27mm at 35mm equiv.

Should be good if I get it before the end of the month for some proper landscape shots :D

Nice, if you win. There are 1.4X ones for the Panasonic Lumixes that give about 600mm equivalent but you should be able to get a suitable X2 to shove it as far as 864mm  :P

Oh noes, why did I look? :o

lol :) I know that a 2.2x one (taking it to er.. heck.. probably 800mm) exists for the S5000.

Ah.. just checked.

DCR-2020PRO lens extends the focal length of FinePix S5000 camera lens to over 810mm


Looks a beast on the camera too :D lol, proper big boy :D

but it costs a hell of a lot more for that extra few mm :)

also... would advise against the opteka telephoto lens, they are poorly made, result in heavy heavy CA at all F stops. opteka wide angles however are alright :)

Opteka lenses are the ones you see labeled as "high definition made for digital lens" or similar :)
