4.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny.
The Bower 2x 72mm Telephoto Lens does exactly what it should for a very low price. I use it for an HDV video camera and it works great when zoomed in between 75% and 95%. When zooming in all the way, the lens produces some chroma shift and when zooming out there is heavy vignetting (tunnel vision), but in that sweet spot it delivers a nice close-up. Overall for the...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the typical user?

I am using the auto focus on a Cannon EOS 40D that normally takes...

When zooming in all the way, the lens produces some chroma shift and when zooming out there is heavy vignetting (tunnel vision), but in that sweet spot it delivers a nice close-up. Overall for the money (which is less than 10% of it's high-end compeditors), it is a good lens.

This review is from: Bower Hi-Def 2x Telephoto Conversion Lens 72mm for Digital/Film Cameras in Black color (Electronics)
Received this item and immediately had to try it out. Easy enough attaching this to the end of my Ultrasonic 29-135mm lens. I began to take a few pictures and noticed a fuzzy haze surrounding all of my photos. I began playing with the settings and could not eliminate the fuzzy haze around the photos. I am using the auto focus on a Cannon EOS 40D that normally takes beautiful high quality photos. I have read many reviews after the fact of buying this item and notice many people with the same issue. I guess I will have to read a bit more and see if it is my lack of knowledge in photography or the quality of the product itself.
