 Doubles your zoom. April 5, 2007
Doubles your zoom. Nothing more complex than that. It isn't a very dramatic increase, but I now effectively have an 8x optical zoom on my A540: not bad for a camera that costs under $200.
And for the price of this lens, you can't really go wrong.
 Excellent buy for price March 31, 2007

I bought this product just for the long range capability and it is performing great for that purpose. If you try to go to wide angle it will get a barrel effect. The biggest drawback is the inability to use the viewfinder. You have to use the LCD because the lens blocks the view.
It is an excellent buy for the money.
Its two times closer than what you have now.. January 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this prior to a trip abroad for my Canon digital camera. It was especially useful in Nakuru National Park in Kenya, where the animals were very close, but the 2x brought them closer. It's big and bulky for the extra zoom you get, but it does what it advertises, doubles your zoom. Big cons are that if you need to back out for a wide shot, it leaves a ring in the picture, and you have to use the digital viewfinder screen, which is a disadvantage in bright sunlight. Still, it was worth the money for the dozen or so shots it really helped on, although I could have really used a 4x instead of a two.
It really works April 6, 2006

I was sceptical, especially after reading a review of Canon's own, similar product. But it works. Images are sharp, and it does give me an effective 8x zoom. I don't see any distortion in the pictures (4 megapixel). The only complaint is the size: it covers the viewfinder, thus forcing me to use the LCD for shots.
