Hello!
I recently purchased a Sony DSC-W5 digital camera. I'm happy with it, though it could use a few improvements. I'm thinking about purchasing a lens to increase the zoom on my camera so I can take better close-ups and get more detailed shots from far away. Does anyone know what I should look for in a lens and whether the purchase is worth it on this camera? This is all confusing to me!
The DSC-W5 already has a 3x optical zoom. Sony offers 3 lenses and a converter on its website:
VCL-DH2630 30mm High Grade 2.6X Super Telephoto Conversion Lens $129.99
VCL-DH1730 30mm High Grade 1.7X Telephoto Conversion Lens $99.99
VCL-DH0730 30mm High Grade 0.7X Wide Conversion Lens $99.99
VAD-WA 30mm Lens Adaptor $29.99
Any advice you can offer on whether these lenses are worth it, or any experiences anyone has had with them, would be great. Thanks!
