Lens Extension
March 12th, 2010
would anybody know what a ” teleconverter extension lens ” for a camera does ?
i have a canon S5 IS, i saw in the brochure that it has an optional teleconverter extension lens, is it worth buying this option ?
On an SLR or DSLR, a teleconverter is a add-on that goes between the lens and the camera body, magnifying it’s optical power with addition glass elements. The lens’s maximum aperture is lowered by the same factor that the focal length is magified (eg: 1.4x or 2x)
On a compact camera like the Canon S5 IS, a teleconvertor extension lens is an add-on optic that is attached in front of the main camera lens. There is some magnification, but there is surely degradation of the picture quality as well.
The camera is designed for the non-interchangeable optics built into the OEM lens. Any add-on lens lowers the quality, but does offer some features.
If you are truly coveting longer focal lengths or more flexibilty in your camera, then you are a good candidate for a DSLR.
