Which Lense

[mollydog]

The Pro's that I've met generally Poo Poo extenders. But most are old school film guys. The best thing you can do is do a series of comparison shots using
the extender against a high quality lens. Get in close and take a look at the pixels and see what is going on. Try different focal lengths and exposures to see where its strong and were its weak.

The little Lumix zoomed out to 400 mm does remarkably well. But its damed hard to steady that little camera. But if you can hold it still its not bad. A cheap way to get in close.

Look at the other so called "Super Zoom" small cameras out there. Not bad, and the Panasonic is using the Leica lens tech....whatever thats worth.
