Just setup some bids on this baby...



Heres the bit of bumpf thats needed...

QuoteThe 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!

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!!

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 ).

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

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  

Oh noes, why did I look?

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

Ah.. just checked.

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

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

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

awwww BASTARD!!!

/me mounts 500mm Cat lens with 2x converter on *ist DL2
