Very good conversion lens, fair what needed and to the appropriate price.

I ordered this lens on the hope and chance that it might work on my DSC-F828. It does properly screw on to the DSC-F828's filter threads, but nope, the lens doesn't work acceptably with the F828.

With this lens mounted on the F828, there is from extreme to just noticeable vignetting with the camera's lens set from full wide angle to _almost_ full telephoto.

If I turn on the F828's 2X digital "zoom", then there is no noticeable vignetting, and results in an effective focal length "zoom" range of about 95mm - 680mm. But I prefer to not use digital "zoom".

3 stars because it seems to be a good lens, just not for me on the F828. Rating: 3 / 5

This was given as a gift and the recipient has not yet obtained the adapter to try the lens.

Please excuse my ignorance. Why does one need this Sony VCL – DH1758 Tele Conversion Lens for a camera that has 12 x optical zoom plus digital zoom? I’m a novice and don’t understand.
