Sony VCL-DH2630 Telephoto Conversion Lens for Compatible Cybershot Digital Cameras (Purchased on 07/17/2005)


Sony VAD-WA Conversion Lens Adapter for the DSCW1/W5/W7 Digital Cameras (Purchased on 07/17/2005)

You need both. They allow you to get shots that the camera telephoto can not pick up in detail. I learned this the hard way
when I took a series of shots of three wolves stalking a dozen caribou. I have little splotches. I swore then to get a telephoto. You need both for items to function. They are relatively heavy and the size of the camera. There is just one magification no adjustment. So what you see is what you get. It does expand your use of a good versaltile pocket camera. I buy it again

What can I say about this adapter except that it works on my W5 perfectly. Just screw it on like a lightbulb and then attach whatever lens you bought with it. Easy, easy.

I bought this ring to fit a wide angle lens to my Sony DSC-W1 and it's a perfect fit. I love it. Very high quality. The only drawback is, of course, how the lens blocks the flash a little.

Very easy to use, customers should be informed when purchasing lenses that adapted is required.[

the sony VAD-WA conversion lens adapter lets other lens attchments and polarizing effects filters to be used in sony cybershot cameras. it works just fine however, when this adapter together with the lens attachments and/or filters are on, a considerable portion of the picture, particularly the bottom center, gets dark. the reason for this flaw is (just what other reviews mentioned) the flash is just above the adapter which causes a dark shadow to the bottom center portion of the picture. everytime the flash is used, specially at night or low light conditions, the shadow is cast which blocks the bottom 5-20 percent of the picture.

a slave flash attachment may solve this problem but according to it's reviews, it has a reputation of not firing off, gives too much light, and the expensive price tag.

overall, i still give the sony VAD-WA conversion lens a 4 star.

When mated to a Sony wide-angle lens, the on-camera flash becomes partially blocked causing a dark area in the photo. A major flaw in my opinion.

Sony makes no mention of this on the packaging.

Thank you for this discontinued item you made my day, now I'm able to use the lens I purchased.

I was going to purchase this same item with Sony but for a whole lot more! This product allowed me to capture awesome views in Hawaii. Totally recommend it for your digital camera!

What can I say? I needed it to connect the zoom lens to the Sony camera. Worked great!

It works perfectly! Sure it's a bit of a pain to have to have an adapter to attach the lens to the camera but it's so simple to use. It attaches very smoothly and easily to both the lens and camera. The mount is very secure and stable. Yes there is a bit of a "tunnel" effect until you use the W/T function on the camera but overall it works great!
