Product Description

Emphasize the main subject while downplaying a distracting background. When you can t move closer to the action, bring the action closer to you. The telephoto effect reduces the angle of view and the depth of field, allowing you to capture the main subject while moderately diffusing the background. Perfect for sporting events, candids, portraits, wildlife and nature photos, and travel shots. It s easy to gauge the effect of a Tiffen telephoto conversion lens. For example, a 2.0x telephoto lens converts a 150mm lens into a 300mm lens (2 times 150).

I ordered this item from Amazon.com and the item was shipped by Adorama. I went to a local camera store to get a 55mm UV filter and found out that the lens has no 55mm thread for the filter. According to specs in Tiffen website, the lens has this 55mm thread. The package of the lens is not labeled 'MegaPlus' and the body of the shipped item is black; Amazon.com website showed silver color. It looks like an old model. Amazon.com allows returns within 30 days; Adorama allows only 15 days as I found out too late. I feel that it was Adorama's error and email them about exchangeing for current model on 7/15. So far no response. I suggest Amazon.com to hold its partner stores to the same standard as itself. Most of east coast camera stores do not have good reputation.

Worked well on my Canon S70 (with filter adapter). Was able to take some nice telephoto shots with it.

The view through this lense shows a round, dark border, like looking through a hole in a fence. I sent it back, and my card was promptly credited.
