Pros: No noticeable loss of light or picture quality.

Cons: Price. Threads on one end only.

The Bottom Line: This could be a useful item for a Cyber-shot owner who want to lengthen the zoom's range.

from Shopping.com I've had this lens for a little over a month now and I just love it! It takes awesome shots, especially when you need to get closer to wildlife without spooking them. from Amazon.com If the 12x optical zoom on the Canon S2/S3/S5 isn't enough then you can add a teleconversion lens that will bring out details of distant subjects. Sony's DH1758 is well known in the Canon S2/S3 community because the quality lens provides 1.7x more zoom without vignetting, soft corners, or sacrificed detail. The reason for this is related to the lens used for this adapter which is on par with the Sony H3 and this effectively turns a $300-$400 camera into a fairly close approximation of the telephoto lenses available for DSLR's without having to spend thousands. from Amazon.com Well, even if 1.7x doesn't sound that big, if you pair it with big resolution and then crop the area you're interested in, the final result is a very nice and closer shot. I have a sony DSC-H5 and I've taken pictures of birds, planes, buildings, etc. from Amazon.com I took the advise of more experienced, and some professionals, who use the H5 Sony - they all said buy the 1758. Sony's lens cost more than others, but it is best for the camera and worth paying for when you see the results. from Amazon.com The Sony DSC-H5 tele lens came in good condition. The lens still doesnt give me clear telephoto shots like some I have seen but it does get you closer to what you want to shoot. from Amazon.com I don't use this adapter on a Sony camera; I use it on my Canon S3 and as an add-on for my Nikon D50's 70-300mm lens. At full zoom my Canon is the same as a 432mm film lens, with this it goes out to 734mm. from Amazon.com I wanted a bit more zoom for my Sony Cybershot and this lens easily adds a really clear zoom automatically. My only regret is that I can't buy a lens with higher zoom, but I am very happy with the clarity and zoom of the lens. from Amazon.com I can sit on my front porch and pull a Cardinal from 40 feet away to just 2 feet away with this lens. In natural daylight the picture is so crisp and clear you feel like the bird just flew down to your feet to check things out. Sony has done a wonderful job of making a camera and then offering some get lenses to go with it. Oh, the camera is the DSC-H2. from Amazon.com Purchased lens to go with my Canon Powershot S3 IS. I'm not a pro, but gives great focus even at full zoom (if my hand is steady) Set-up: Power shot > Conversion Lens Adapter > UV filter > Sony 1.7 Telecoversion. Fits right on the 58mm thread of UV filter; no need to remove. from Amazon.com
